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 (FoodEstablishment) address
• Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
• Ordering through toast on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
• Toast lets agents act only through its partners Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
