Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Taphouse Sydney is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Taphouse Sydney's website. It can read what Taphouse Sydney offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://taphousesydney.com.au/make-a-booking/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://taphousesydney.com.au/takeaway/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://taphousesydney.com.au/menu/
- Phone: +61283131909

## What to fix first
- Prices: 6 prices on the site, the middle one A$13.50

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$13.50.** In Sydney, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$20.00.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.
