# Name's on the Way: Agent-Direct Score D (52.3%) Site: http://namesontheway.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/namesontheway.com Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Name's on the Way is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Name's on the Way's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## What to fix first - **Booking only through opentable.** (+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.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Name's on the Way > bar or pub in Rue Rachel Est 500 H2J 2H2 Montréal, Montreal cafes and bars. ## Opening hours Th-Sa 18:00-03:00; Th-Sa 18:00-22:00 "kitchen" ## About - Website: http://namesontheway.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).** no address, phone or hours in it - **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-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. ## Where it stands 355 of 779 in Montreal cafes and bars.
