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.

What to fix first

1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +20 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. How to fix it

2. No structured data for the business +15 points

   Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

3. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User no points, but worth doing

   These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it
