## 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.** (no points, still worth doing) 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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
