## 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 (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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $9.50.** In San Antonio, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $10.99.

## 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.

- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering through mealkeyway on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
