Site: https://www.oto-oto.fr
Report: https://directindex.org/r/oto-oto.fr
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Oto-oto Izakaya is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Oto-oto Izakaya. What Oto-oto Izakaya offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=372960&pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.oto-oto.fr/assets/menu.pdf
- Phone: +33 4 37 37 84 23

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
