Food Safety AllergyMenu - Food Allergy Software, Menu and App for Restaurants

restaurants provide complex matrixes, but nothing which is user friendly or easy to understand and the majority provide nothing at all, and rely on front of house staff communicating correctly the information, which is ver y prone to mistakes

Our simple but affective app provides the chef the ability to keep a live updated menu with allerg y information held within it Customers simply login to the app and view the menu filtered to only show those dishes that are safe for them to eat

This app significantly reduces the risk of incorrect communication between customers & staff especially when mistakes can be so easily made , and these mistakes can cost lives you can find restaurants in your location on a map

It’s then ver y simply to filter the menu by the list of standard allergens or click the vegan or vegetarian option The menu then displays showing only the items that you can eat making a simple and easy to understand menu

How It Works For The Restaurant

Many of us now limit the types of food we eat, for some it’s simply because it will kill them, for others, it’s for health or moral reasons However, it’s become a complex task to eat out these days, ensuring the food you have ordered is what you can eat Some restaurants provide different menus, but simply don’t cater for the complexity, such as they may provide a gluten free menu, but not a gluten free & dair y free menu combined Some

Up to “20% of the population experience some reactions to foods” (The British Dietetic Association) so it’s no longer a minority issue , eating out should always be enjoyable ii should also always be safe

How It Works For The Customer

You can either find the restaurant’s menu by their unique allerg y menu code on their menu or website , or

Electronic Temperature Instruments Ltd

Temperature control is critical to ensuring a high quality and safe product is delivered to the consumer ’ s plate This is enabled by the constant har vesting and monitoring of data through wireless data loggers These are IoT-enabled devices which can provide catering facilities with the information they need to act immediately should any unforeseen issues arise when it comes to food temperatures

They transmit data via the cloud which is stored locally on PCs and other devices

The data is passed through a Wi-Fi router to a computer, regardless of where the user is based It stays locally on a hard drive so the user can access real, live temperature monitoring data wherever they are This ensures checks are completed correctly, issues are identified, and corrective actions are taken to reduce spoilage

Wireless data loggers are ideally suited to applications where there are challenges in collecting real-time and recorded data, making them ideal tools for the likes of large retailers and catering enterprises which rely on industrial refrigeration units

Overfilling refrigerators and cool rooms with produce reduces the air flow and leads to hot spots, where bacteria can flourish even if you think you have the right temperature set on the dial To combat this, caterers should keep an inventor y of how much their stock needs to be refrigerated and use this technolog y to back temperature recordings ever y few hours so that it never goes above critical limits

Companies that can invest in the speed of their operation will reap rewards in a climate which is seeing growing costs to employ people Technolog y allows organisations to react faster to situations because of instant access to accurate data www.etiltd.com

There is an easy account area where the menu and dish information can be maintained via computer or mobile phone The allergies are assigned to each dish and it can be updated whenever it’s needed An email is also sent out once a month to ensure the allerg y information is checked and the menu confirmed that it is still up to date The company logo can also be uploaded to ensure the menu follows the restaurants brand
