# Odd Spot Cafe: Agent-Direct Score F (30.8%)

Site: http://theoddspot.com.au
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theoddspot.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Odd Spot Cafe is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Odd Spot Cafe's website. What Odd Spot Cafe offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to Quandoo, a marketplace.

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **Booking only through quandoo.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Quandoo's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+12 points) Quandoo's end-user terms (London, May 2018, section 3.3.1) bar robots, spiders, scrapers or any other automated means of access to the website for any purpose; the operator, Quandoo UK Limited, is in members' voluntary liquidation and the German company is in liquidation too. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.quandoo.co.uk/terms-conditions. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (+10 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows (03) 9217 8687, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (03) 9399 2241. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.
