# The Meat Company: Agent-Direct Score D (40%)

Site: http://www.themeatco.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/themeatco.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Meat Company is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of The Meat Company, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: http://www.sevenrooms.com/reservations/meatcokuwait (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.themeatco.com/menus/
- Phone: 02 558 1713

## What to fix first
- Languages: Arabic, English

- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (http_403); 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.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone on the site is not the one the open data lists.** The site shows +96525309696; OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 02 558 1713. 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">

    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **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 sevenrooms on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. 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.
