Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +3.7 points

    These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it

  3. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it

Already right

  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Structured data found (LocalBusiness) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Ordering through toast on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Toast works with agents through its partners Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
