Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking through resdiary on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • ResDiary works with agents through its partners ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/Terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
