# Thym: Agent-Direct Score B (78.5%)

Site: https://www.thym.nl
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thym.nl
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Thym is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Thym. What Thym offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Zenchef.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=376566&pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thym.nl/upload/files/lunch%20-%20kerstmenu%20website.pdf
- Phone: +31 40 211 4888

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: 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 HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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.

# Thym

> restaurant in Alberdingk Thijmlaan 18 5615EB Eindhoven, Eindhoven. Phone +31 40 211 4888.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://bookings.zenchef.com/results?rid=376566&amp;pid=1001 (through zenchef acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.thym.nl/upload/files/lunch%20-%20kerstmenu%20website.pdf

## Opening hours

Mo-Su 08:00-23:00

## About

- Website: https://www.thym.nl
- 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.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Booking through zenchef on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Zenchef works with agents through its partners.** Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. 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.
