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.)
Waffelwerk is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Waffelwerk's website. What Waffelwerk offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through DISH.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://reservation.dish.co/widget/hydra-56a95490-a237-42b2-a9a9-808bedcbb82a (through dish acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.waffelwerk.com/bestellen/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +49 721 96314723
- Address: Bürgerstraße 7g 76133 Karlsruhe
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Thu 12:00–21:00; Fri–Sat 12:00–22:00; Sun 12:00–21:00

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to dish.co, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.

## 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.
