Allergens

Give each allergen a short code and mark the dishes that contain it. Guests see the codes and a legend on your page.

Allergens are the things some guests must avoid: gluten, nuts, milk. Each one gets a short code, and the codes show next to the dishes that contain them, with a legend at the end of the menu.

Add allergens

  1. Open Menu and pick the Allergens tab.
  2. Click Add an allergen.
  3. Type the code and the name: "A" and "Gluten".
  4. Click Save. Repeat for each allergen you need.
  5. Open a dish, find Allergens in the editor and pick the ones it contains. Save the dish.

Good to know

  • Use the codes your country uses if it has a standard list, so guests recognise them.
  • Drag allergens to set the order of the legend.
  • Guests can filter the menu by allergen on your page, so the codes do real work.
  • Allergens are for safety. For "Vegan" or "Spicy" use tags instead.
