things to fix

Action test, 2026-11-13: partial, there's a path, but an agent would have trouble with it. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant gets three questions about this business: the official website, where to book and where to order. Each cell shows where the answer sent people.

The assistants haven't been asked about this business yet. They're asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about any business as soon as it's claimed. Claim this page to be included.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (http_403). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it

  2. Ordering through an unrecognised third party no points, but worth doing

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Structured data found (LocalBusiness) 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.

Builder: duda · A plain fetch got http_403; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
