  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Structured data found (LocalBusiness) address, opening hours
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking through tock on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Ordering through toast on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Tock works with agents through its partners Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. 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.
