Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bird Dog is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Bird Dog's website. It can read what Bird Dog offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://birddognyc.com/menus
- Phone: +19172614221
- Address: 525 Hudson St, 10014, New York
- Its menu mentions: vegan options, vegetarian dishes

## Nearby, also direct

- The Warren (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/thewarrennyc.com
- Leitao (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/leitaonyc.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through resy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/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.
