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) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Grubhub works with agents through its partners Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice.
