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.)
Rockaway Roasters is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Rockaway Roasters's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+23 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to toasttab.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (no points, but worth doing) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
