# The BBQ: Agent-Direct Score B (78.5%)

Site: http://Thebbqantwerp.be/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thebbqantwerp.be
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The BBQ is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of The BBQ. It can read what The BBQ offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=381575&pid=1001&fullscreen=1 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thebbqantwerp.be/menu/
- Phone: +32491895243

## What to fix first
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one €33.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Antwerp, 71% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Antwerp, 21% of comparable sites declare one.
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one €33.00.** In Antwerp, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €15.00.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone on the site is not the one the open data lists.** The site shows +32485341957; OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +32491895243. An assistant that sees two different numbers does not know which to trust. Correct the wrong one: the site, or the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "The BBQ",
  "url": "http://Thebbqantwerp.be/",
  "telephone": "+32491895243",

# The BBQ

> organization (barbecue) in Frankrijklei 27, 2000, Antwerpen, Antwerp. Phone +32491895243.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=381575&pid=1001&fullscreen=1 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thebbqantwerp.be/menu/

## About

- Website: http://Thebbqantwerp.be/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
