Can AI assistants read my restaurant menu and opening hours?
Answer
Only if they are text on a page the agent can fetch. A menu in a PDF, an image or a booking widget that needs JavaScript is invisible to them. On one cafe site my statistics showed ChatGPT reading the menu seventy times in a month, next to a few hundred human pageviews, and that is exactly what the agentic web looks like from the kitchen: an assistant asking your site for the menu, the hours and a free table on behalf of a guest. Give it the menu as plain structured text, the hours as data, and a reservation form it can submit, and it will bring the guest.
