Bumbles Cafe is ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Bumbles Cafe's website. It can read what Bumbles Cafe offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through OpenTable.

## What to fix first
- **robots.txt blocks PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User.** (+2.5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2024.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Gold Coast, 78% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## Fix kit: What to paste

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

```
# Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them.
# Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.opentable.com.au/widget/reservation/loader?rid=132392&type=button&theme=standard&color=2&dark=false&iframe=false&domain=comau&lang=en-AU&newtab=false&ot_source=Restaurant%20website&cfe=true (through opentable acting for the business)

## About

- Website: https://www.bumblescafe.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (FoodEstablishment).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-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.
