After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; Ordering only through grubhub; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 104th of 3,640 in Chicago, up from 2885th.

Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 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. How to fix it

  2. Ordering only through grubhub +12 points

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  4. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows (773)%20338%205800, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +17733385800. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Grubhub works with agents through its partners Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. 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.

Builder: wordpress · A plain fetch got TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
