# Rangoon - Chelsea: Agent-Direct Score B (77.4%)

Site: https://www.rangoon.nyc/location/rangoon-chelsea/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/rangoon.nyc
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Rangoon - Chelsea is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Rangoon - Chelsea's website. It can read what Rangoon - Chelsea offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.rangoonchelsea.getsauce.com/ (through sauce acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.rangoon.nyc/chelsea/
- Phone: 9173495098
- Address: 158 8th Ave, 10011, New York
- Its menu mentions: vegan options, vegetarian dishes, a lunch or set menu
- Prices: 157 prices on the site, the middle one $15.00

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +18483595989, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 9173495098. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **157 prices on the landing page, the middle one $15.00.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $14.00.

## 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.
