# Lost & Found: Agent-Direct Score B (83.5%)

Site: https://www.lostandfoundmidtown.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/lostandfoundmidtown.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Lost & Found is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Lost & Found. It can read what Lost & Found offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://lostandfoundmidtown.com/reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.chownow.com/order/28488/locations/42172?is_mp_redirect=true (through chownow acting for the business)
- Menu: https://lostandfoundmidtown.com/menu/
- Phone: +1 832 649 3050

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.

Keep watching this business (https://directindex.org/r/lostandfoundmidtown.com/plan): the assistants asked again every month, with what changed; 2 EUR a month or 19 EUR a year.
Deep report: https://directindex.org/r/lostandfoundmidtown.com/deep. Ten questions the way people ask, each assistant's full answer, the eight nearest similar places, the fix plan and a PDF: 5 EUR, one-off. Reading and scanning stay free; these few euros pay for the questions sent to the assistants and for the servers.
