Your Menu

Allergens and dietary tags

Tick the allergens and dietary tags of each dish once — guests read them in their own language, on the menu and on the dish page.

Allergens and dietary tags

Both are on the Basic tab of the product editor, under the description. Tick what applies, then tap Save product.

Allergens

The list starts with the 14 allergens EU law requires you to declare when a dish contains them: gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs.

Under Also often asked about are five that are not mandatory but that guests regularly ask about: garlic & onion, corn, legumes, pine nuts and coconut. Pine nuts and coconut are listed separately because the legal "nuts" category does not include them.

For anything else, type it into Other allergens, separated by commas — kiwi, strawberries.

You don't have to translate the ticked allergens. A guest reading your menu in Italian sees Latte, a German guest sees Milch. Only what you type into Other allergens needs translating, and assisted translation does it; until then guests see it as you typed it. If you change it later, guests see your new wording until you translate the dish again, so an outdated translation never hides an allergen.

Dietary tags

The same idea, for what a dish is rather than what it contains: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, halal, kosher and organic. Anything else — keto, low sugar — goes into Other dietary tags.

What guests see

On the menu, each dish shows its dietary tags and allergens as small labels under the description, with an icon next to each allergen, so guests can scan before opening a dish. In the compact List display mode, rows stay short: allergens appear as icons only, and the dietary labels move to the dish page.
On the dish page, the full allergen list is always shown.
At the bottom of the menu, a short note tells guests that allergen information comes from the venue and invites anyone with an allergy to check with your staff before ordering.

The allergen information on your menu is yours. Azcarte displays what you tick; it does not check your recipes. Keep it accurate when a recipe or a supplier changes, and make sure your staff can answer allergy questions.

Menus imported from a photo

When you import a menu from a photo, allergens and dietary tags printed on the menu are picked up and ticked for you. Check them — the scan only knows what the paper said.

Variants and add-ons

Offer sizes and options with variants, and paid extras with add-ons — and the pricing trap to avoid.
