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.)
Grand Bar & Salon is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Grand Bar & Salon's website. It can read what Grand Bar & Salon offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows (212) 965-3000, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +12129653588. 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.

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Grand Bar & Salon",
  "url": "http://sohogrand.com/",
  "telephone": "+12129653588",
  "address": "310 W Broadway, 10013, New York",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.72205499947205,
    "longitude": -74.00432469731264
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://www.sohogrand.com/dining/grand-bar/"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/terms. 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.
