# Press Waffle Co.: Agent-Direct Score F (26.2%)

Site: https://www.presswaffleco.com/locations/lyric-market
Report: https://directindex.org/r/presswaffleco.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Press Waffle Co. is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Press Waffle Co., so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://lyric-market.square.site/s/order/16?location=11ed435a847a5731b88dac1f6bbbcc9c (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.presswaffleco.com/menu
- Phone: +1-713-405-1407

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
