Add allergens, diet tags & ingredients

These three fields are what make the guest AI genuinely useful — and what lets guests filter your menu themselves. They take a few seconds per item and answer the questions your staff get asked all night.

  1. 1

    Open an item in the Menu editor and scroll to its details.

  2. 2

    Tick any of the 14 standard allergens the dish contains — gluten, dairy, nuts, fish and so on. These are the EU-14 list, the same set restaurants are asked about everywhere.

  3. 3

    Add diet and experience tags — vegan, vegetarian, spicy, halal. Guests can filter your menu by these, and the tags show as small icons on the item card.

  4. 4

    List the ingredients. By default guests can ask for one removed or "less/extra" when they order; lock the ones that define the dish (the cheese in a cheeseburger) so they’re shown but can’t be changed.

  5. 5

    Pick a tax class for the item if your region taxes food, alcohol and soft drinks differently. Food is the default.

Tip"Is this gluten-free?" is the single most common guest question. Filling in allergens is the highest-value five minutes you can spend on your menu.
