Star in Shoreditch is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links

- Phone: +44 20 7129 8137

## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.
