# The Painted Ship: Agent-Direct Score D (54.3%)

Site: https://www.thepaintedship.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thepaintedship.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Painted Ship is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/egiftcards/stable-group (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thepaintedship.ca/new-page
- Phone: +1-604-734-0505

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

## About

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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Toast lets agents act only 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. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
