Action test, 2026-11-13: completed, an agent can get as far as the step before confirming. A Shopify widget renders on the page and can be used without a login.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (Structured data is incomplete; Menu or price list is a PDF), the score would be about 96.3%, which would be first of 257 in Kansas City cafes and bars.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 8169314000, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +1-816-552-5780. 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.
