## 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 (LocalBusiness).** but without address, phone or 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.
