# Allergens and Special Diets

With the **Allergens & Special Diets** feature, you can clearly show which ingredients and diets apply to each product. This makes it easier for staff to manage allergies, reduces the risk of mistakes, and provides guests with a safer experience.

You can mark your products with the allergens and special dietary options that correspond to the content of the dish. You can also use it to inform the kitchen when a guest wants a dish to be customized. All information is automatically displayed at the checkout, on kitchen screens (KDS), kitchen order tickets and receipts.

#### Predefined allergens

Gluten, seafood, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulfur dioxide, lupine, mussels, bee pollen.

#### Predefined special diet options

Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, Kosher, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free, Lactose-Free.
