## Direct links
- Menu: https://masalameatsandgrill.com/#menu
- Phone: +16134472000

## What to fix first
- Prices: 155 prices on the site, the middle one CA$16.99

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **155 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$16.99.** In Ottawa, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$16.99.

- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FastFoodRestaurant",
  "name": "Masala Meats & Grill",
  "url": "http://masalameatsgrill.com/",
  "telephone": "+16134472000",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Merivale Road 1489"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 45.3592942,
    "longitude": -75.7357848
  },
  "servesCuisine": [
    "Indian fusion pizza"
  ],
  "hasMenu": "https://masalameatsandgrill.com/#menu"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** address
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Uber Eats works with agents through its partners.** Uber's US terms of use (12 October 2026) bar scripts that burden the services and any use to build software or train AI; its Claude and ChatGPT integrations only browse menus, with checkout in the Uber Eats app. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. 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.
