# The Smoke Pit: Agent-Direct Score F (26.2%)

Site: https://thesmokepit.com.au
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thesmokepit.com.au
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 Smoke Pit is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of The Smoke Pit, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.opentable.com/widget/reservation/canvas?rid=159857&domain=com&type=standard&theme=wide&lang=en&overlay=false&insideiframe=true (through opentable acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/H882Q5SX5KVHG/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://thesmokepit.com.au/menu

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); 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
- **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

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Read 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. 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.
