Report: https://directindex.org/r/lookoutsf.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Lookout is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.lookoutsf.com/menus

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through eventbrite.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Eventbrite's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would.** (+12 points) Eventbrite's terms of service (20 August 2025), section 13.1: users agree not to scrape, crawl or employ any automated means to extract data from the sites; the separate API terms cover developer apps, not agent booking. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/251210/eventbrite-terms-of-service/. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BarOrPub",
  "name": "Lookout",
  "url": "http://www.lookoutsf.com",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "16th Street 3600",
    "addressLocality": "San Francisco"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 37.7643689,
    "longitude": -122.4333114
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://www.lookoutsf.com/menus"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

# Lookout

> bar or pub in 16th Street 3600 San Francisco, San Francisco cafes and bars.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: https://www.lookoutsf.com/menus

## About

- Website: http://www.lookoutsf.com
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then)
- Fixed: No booking or ordering path at all
- New: Booking only through a marketplace; The booking vendor's terms did not allow agents
