- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents 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.
