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

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://theticket.seattletimes.com/ (on the business's own site)
- Address: Lake City Way Northeast 12306 98125 Seattle
- Prices: 6 prices on the site, the middle one $9.63

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (http_403). 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
- **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 menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $9.63.** In Seattle, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $15.23.

## 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.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
