Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bye and Bye is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Bye and Bye's website. What Bye and Bye offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Toast.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/the-bye-and-bye-1011-ne-alberta-st (through toast acting for the business)
- Address: Northeast Alberta Street 1011 97211 Portland
- Outdoor seating (OpenStreetMap)
- Step-free access (OpenStreetMap)
- Prices: 125 prices on the site, the middle one $7.00

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to google.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **125 prices on the landing page, the middle one $7.00.** In Portland, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $15.00.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">

## Book or order directly

- Order: https://www.toasttab.com/the-bye-and-bye-1011-ne-alberta-st (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1011+NE+Alberta+St,+Portland,+OR+97211/

## About

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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents through its partners.** Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
