Site: https://www.richies.cafe/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/richies.cafe
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.)
Richie's Cafe is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Richie's Cafe. It can read what Richie's Cafe offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Clover.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.clover.com/online-ordering/richies-cafe-philadelphia/giftcard (through clover acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.richies.cafe/menu

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Clover's terms bar bots and automated use; a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) Clover's consumer app terms (8 June 2023, section 3.5), linked from its online ordering pages, bar any deep-link, robot, spider or other device or process to access, copy or monitor the site or app, and bar the use of buying agents; no agent programme was found. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.clover.com/consumer/terms. An agent that books or orders there acts outside the vendor's terms unless the vendor permits it; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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

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