# Cafe 56: Agent-Direct Score F (33.8%) Site: http://sandiegohomecooking.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/sandiegohomecooking.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Cafe 56 is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Cafe 56's website. It can read what Cafe 56 offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.sandiegohomecooking.com/menu_breakfast.html - Phone: (858) 484-5789 - Address: 13211 Black Mountain Rd, 92129, San Diego - Prices: 103 prices on the site, the middle one $12.49 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Cafe 56 that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Knotty Barrel Rancho Penasquitos (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/knottybarrelpq.com - Wonderful Sushi (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/wonderfulsushipq.com - Sweet Treats Truck (810 m): https://directindex.org/r/sweettreatstruck.com - Kalei's Kitchenette (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/kaleiskitchenette.com - Rodrigo's Taco Shop (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/tacobell.co.uk ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (+10 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **103 prices on the landing page, the middle one $12.49.** In San Diego, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $13.95. ## 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. ```html ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
