Why an assistant sends people elsewhere
2026-10-27 The site has the booking path via Zenchef, but ChatGPT and Gemini sent users to RestoManager because the assistants did not find the booking option on the site.
A model wrote this from the stored answers and the scan's facts, and nothing else. The answers themselves are quoted below, under "What assistants answer".

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, opening hours
- Booking through zenchef on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- Zenchef works with agents through its partners Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. 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.
