After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; Booking only through opentable; Ordering only through doordash), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 257 in Kansas City cafes and bars.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). 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.

  2. Booking only through opentable +12 points

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. Ordering only through doordash +12 points

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • OpenTable works with agents through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
