The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Ricky's Cafe is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Ricky's Cafe's website. It can read what Ricky's Cafe offers. To book or order, it is sent to Grubhub, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.rickyscafe.net/menu - Phone: +17184781360 - Address: 75-02 37th Ave, 11372, Jackson Heights - Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes - Prices: 5 prices on the site, the middle one $20.17 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ricky's Cafe that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Romeos (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/romeositalianrestaurant.com - Jackson Diner (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/jacksondiner.com - NABANNO RESTAURANT (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/nabanno.com ## What to fix first - **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission.

Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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.
