Already right

• robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
• AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
• Structured data present (FoodEstablishment) address, opening hours
• Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
• Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
• Ordering through bentobox on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
• SevenRooms lets agents act only through its partners SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
