Old Mates Pub is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/oldmatespub/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Order directly: http://getbento.com/?utm_source=footer&utm_campaign=oldmates.com (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.oldmates.com/menus/

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```

## 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.
