## Fix kit: What to paste

## 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.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through toast on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Toast works with agents 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
