Findings

Nothing to fix

    Already right

    • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
    • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
    • Structured data found (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
    • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
    • Booking through zenchef on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
    • Zenchef works with agents through its partners Zenchef's website terms (19 February 2024) forbid robots, scripts or automated systems that extract content and forbid crawling or scraping; agents book only through partner integrations a restaurant enables. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.zenchef.com/terms-conditions. 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.
