Across 40 restaurant and fast food websites scanned for October 2026, 34 were reachable and 6 were unreachable from our scanner. Looking at site features, 11 offered a menu or price list as an HTML page, 4 had one as a PDF, 4 pointed to another site, and 15 had no menu or price list. For customer actions, 12 sites took a booking or order on their own domain, representing 35% of the reachable sites, while 19 had no booking or ordering path, 7 handled it on the business's own site, 5 through a vendor on the business's own site, and 3 through an unrecognised third party. When AI assistants were asked where to book or order at the best-scoring businesses, both ChatGPT and Gemini sent people to the business's own site or a direct vendor in 72% of 60 answers.

How this page is made
Every business of this kind that has its own website gets the same scan, about once a month, and every scan is kept. This page uses each site's latest scan from before the end of October 2026. A site fixed the month after shows up on the next month's page. A past month doesn't change. The assistant tables use the latest answer per business and question from before the month ended.
