Belle Epicurean

What to fix first

1. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points

   Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

2. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

   Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

3. Menu or price list lives on another site +5 points

   The link points to toasttab.com, so the credit and the traffic go there. How to fix it

Already right

• robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
• Structured data present (Organization) but without address, phone or hours
• 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.
