# Pista House: Agent-Direct Score F (23.1%)

Site: http://www.pista-house.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/pista-house.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Pista House is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Pista House's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://pista-house.com.au/
- Phone: +61387427861

## What to fix first
- Prices: 9 prices on the site, the middle one A$21.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **9 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$21.00.** In Melbourne, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$18.00.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. 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

## 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": "Organization",
  "name": "Pista House",
  "url": "http://www.pista-house.com.au/",
  "telephone": "+61387427861",
  "address": "Wyndham Village Shopping Centre, 380 Sayers Rd, 3029, Melbourne",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -37.849352,
    "longitude": 144.704838
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
