# Sauce: Agent-Direct Score C (69.2%)

Site: https://www.restomauvaisgarcons.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/restomauvaisgarcons.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Sauce is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Sauce. What Sauce offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through OpenTable.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.opentable.com/widget/reservation/loader?rid=1015549&type=standard&theme=wide&color=1&dark=false&iframe=true&domain=com&lang=fr-CA&new_window=true&ot_source=RestoMontreal.ca (through opentable acting for the business)
- Phone: (514) 931-1777

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to restomontreal.ca, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.opentable.com/widget/reservation/loader?rid=1015549&type=standard&theme=wide&color=1&dark=false&iframe=true&domain=com&lang=fr-CA&new_window=true&ot_source=RestoMontreal.ca (through opentable acting for the business)

## About

- Website: https://www.restomauvaisgarcons.ca
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Read 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

- Fixed: The site could not be read at all
