What is FourishBot?

FourishBot is operated by HakuSoft to power the Fourish discovery platform, which helps users find local happy hour deals. Unlike general-purpose search crawlers, it is highly targeted, focusing exclusively on pages related to menus, specials, and happy hour details. It is designed to be a 'polite' crawler, operating at a slow, non-intrusive pace and strictly adhering to robots.txt directives to ensure it does not disrupt site performance or user experience.

Helpful — The bot is transparent, respects robots.txt, operates at a low frequency, and provides direct value to venue owners by driving traffic to their official websites.

What we read

Why it crawls your site

The bot crawls websites to ensure that the happy hour data displayed on Fourish is accurate and sourced directly from the venue's own public pages. By reading the venue's homepage, sitemap, and menu pages, it captures the most current pricing and scheduling information without requiring manual input from business owners. It only triggers when a user searches for venues in a specific area or when it is time to verify that existing information remains current.
