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 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. 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.
