# The 56 Restaurant & Lounge: Agent-Direct Score B (75.8%)

Site: https://tgcacalgary.com/the-56-about/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/tgcacalgary.com
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.)
The 56 Restaurant & Lounge is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The 56 Restaurant & Lounge's website. It can read what The 56 Restaurant & Lounge offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2022.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Calgary, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied) 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 4032746840, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +15873937641. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.
