Site: https://www.manolitonola.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/manolitonola.com
Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Manolito is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Manolito's website. It can read what Manolito offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.manolitonola.com/menu
- Phone: +15046032740
- Address: 508 Dumaine St, New Orleans 70116
- Hours, from manolitonola.com: Mon–Sun 16:00–23:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Manolito that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Mississippi River Bottom (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/usmenuguide.com
- The Market Cafe (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/marketcafenola.com
- CC's Community Coffee House (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/ccscoffee.com
- PJ's Coffee of New Orleans (260 m): https://directindex.org/r/pjscoffee.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

> local business in 508 Dumaine St, New Orleans 70116, New Orleans cafes and bars. Phone +15046032740.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: https://www.manolitonola.com/menu

## Opening hours

Mo-Su 16:00-23:00

## About

- Website: https://www.manolitonola.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.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
