Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Penrose Diner is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Penrose Diner's website. What Penrose Diner offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to Grubhub, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+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
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Penrose Diner",
  "url": "http://www.penrosediner.com/",
  "telephone": "+12154651097",
  "address": "2016 Penrose Ave, 19145, Philadelphia",
  "geo": {

## 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.
- **Grubhub works with agents through its partners.** Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. 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.
