Your Next Million Customers Won't Have Thumbs
AI agents are learning to feed their humans. The restaurants they can find will win. The ones they can't will wonder what happened.
The way people order food is about to change. Again.
Remember when online ordering was optional? Then delivery apps showed up and suddenly you were paying 30% to be found.
It's happening again—but this time, the customer isn't scrolling. Their AI is.
Consumers are delegating. "Order me lunch." "Get dinner started." "Surprise me with something good." The agent figures out what, where, and how. Then it orders—autonomously.
The question isn't if this happens. It's whether your restaurant is discoverable when it does.

YoY surge in GenAI traffic to retail
Amazon's Rufus doubled purchase rates during peak shopping periods. The infrastructure is being built. The behavior is forming. Food is next.
Food Is the Killer Use Case for Agentic Commerce
Think about what AI agents are good at: understanding preferences, managing constraints, and executing transactions without friction.
Repeated
People eat 3+ times a day
Personal
Preferences are learnable
Local
Agents need to know what's nearby
Time-sensitive
Speed matters
This is exactly the kind of task people want to delegate. The restaurants that AI agents can find, understand, and transact with will capture this demand. The ones that don't exist in the agent's world won't even be considered.
A Registry Built for AI Agents
FoodCourts.ai — built by Prospect Butcher Co. — is the first food-only registry for agentic commerce. Think of it as the Yellow Pages for AI agents looking to order food for their humans. PBC shops are live. More restaurants joining soon.

No Platform Fees
We're not a marketplace taking 15-30% of every order. You keep what you earn.
New Customer Channel
AI agents represent net-new demand. These aren't customers switching platforms—they're delegating decisions to AI for the first time.
Future-Proof Operations
The restaurants that figure this out now will have years of data, reviews, and agent-relationship history by the time this goes mainstream. First movers build the moat.
First-Mover Advantage Is Real Here
Every new platform favors early adopters. The restaurants that joined Seamless in 2008, Uber Eats in 2014, Instagram in 2012—they built audiences while their competitors were "waiting to see."
Agentic commerce is forming right now. The agents are getting smarter. The consumer behavior is shifting. The infrastructure is being laid.
In 18-24 months, AI agents will be a meaningful source of food orders. The restaurants that are already trusted by agents will capture disproportionate share.
Traffic from GenAI to retail sites grew 4,700% year-over-year in July 2025. This isn't speculation. The curve is already bending.
We Built FoodCourts. Our Shops Are First.
FoodCourts.ai is built by Prospect Butcher Co. We created this infrastructure for ourselves first—whole-animal butchery, premium sandwiches, worker-owned — now accepting orders from AI agents at 665 Vanderbilt Ave and 113A Nassau Ave. Now we're opening FoodCourts to restaurants who want to join early.
Questions?
The agents are hungry. Will they find you?
Two hours to set up. No platform fees. Instant settlement. Zero chargebacks. A new customer channel before your competitors know it exists.
