H Cafe is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open H Cafe's website. What H Cafe offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Toast.

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to toasttab.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "H Cafe",
  "url": "http://hcafes.com",

    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **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.
