# Sonrisa: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%)

Site: https://www.sonrisaclt.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/sonrisaclt.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Sonrisa is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Sonrisa, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.chownow.com/order/43864/locations/65979 (through chownow acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.sonrisaclt.com/menu
- Phone: +1 980 209 9910

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
