# The Pipe & Slippers: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: https://www.thepipeandslippers.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thepipeandslippers.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Pipe & Slippers is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Pipe & Slippers's website. What The Pipe & Slippers offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ResDiary.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.resdiary.com/bundles/WidgetV2Loader.js (through resdiary acting for the business)

- Phone: +44 117 9427711

- Kask2 (690 m): https://directindex.org/r/kaskwine.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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 %200117%20942%207711, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +44 117 9427711. 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.

## 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
- **Booking through resdiary on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **ResDiary works with agents through its partners.** ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/Terms. 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.
