## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+23 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (no points, but worth doing) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +1 425-877-1444, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (206) 361-1621. 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
