Otherwise Brewing is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.otherwisebrewing.com/taproom#events (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLXWE8KX20SWS/order (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-415-300-3474

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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 (Brewery).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
