Vegetarian, vegan and allergen tags

เนื้อหานี้ยังไม่มีในภาษาของคุณ

Guests reading your online menu can filter it — show only vegetarian dishes, or hide anything with shellfish. This page explains where those tags come from and why a dish sometimes has none.

The rule

A dish is only tagged when something says it is vegetarian. Never because nothing said it wasn’t.

How it works

  1. When you add or edit a dish, the system reads its name and description and works out what’s in it.
  2. From that it tries to tag the dish: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, dairy-free.
  3. It then double-checks the tag against the ingredients. If the dish says “vegetarian” but the description mentions prosciutto, the tag is removed.
  4. Separately, it records which allergens the dish contains — gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, soy, alcohol — so a guest can hide them.
  5. Anything you type yourself in the dish’s own dietary and allergen fields always counts, and is used alongside this.

Good to know

  • A dish with no description usually gets no tag. “Pepperoni Pizza” on its own is a name, not evidence. Write a description and the tags appear.
  • No tag means “we don’t know”, not “no”. An untagged dish just won’t show under a filter. It is never wrongly labelled as safe.
  • The checks lean cautious. Almond flour is treated as a gluten risk even though it isn’t one. Losing a dish from a filter is better than a guest eating something they avoid.
  • Your own tags win. Whatever you enter by hand is always shown and always used.
  • Guest filters and tags appear in their language. Filter labels, allergen names (“Gluten”, “Dairy”, “Nuts”), dietary labels (“Vegetarian”, “Vegan”, “Gluten-free”), and dish status badges (“Sold out”, “Chef’s pick”, “Featured”) automatically translate into the guest’s language across the full menu, category pages, and dish detail pages in all 14 supported locales.
  • You can customize translations in the dish editor. If your venue has multiple active languages, the Ingredients & dietary card includes a translation section where you can view, edit, or autofill translated chips for each language. If you change a list, save the dish first. Then you can translate it.
  • These tags help guests browse. They are not a substitute for your staff answering an allergy question in person.
