Midland Tavern is ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Midland Tavern's website. It can read what Midland Tavern offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://midlandtavern.com.au/make-a-booking/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://midlandtavern.com.au/our-menu/
- Phone: +61892502995

## What to fix first
- Prices: 7 prices on the site, the middle one A$19.99

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **7 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$19.99.** In Perth, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$20.00.

- **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
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (no points, but worth doing) 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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
