# The Heights Bar & Grill: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%)

Site: https://theheightsnyc.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theheightsnyc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Heights Bar & Grill is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of The Heights Bar & Grill, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.online/business/the-heights-bar-and-grill-11573952 (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.theheightsnyc.com/menus
- Phone: +1-212-866-7035

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
