What this page is for
Allergens is your business's own list of allergens, such as Peanuts, Gluten or Shellfish. Nothing is seeded for you: which allergens your kitchen declares is your call. Tag each item that contains one from the item's own page, and the order screen and the kitchen docket show the warning. Chips are listed by sort order, then by name.
You see this page if your role can view the catalogue; adding and retiring need a role that can manage the catalogue.
A retired allergen carries a Retired state. It leaves the picker, so it cannot be added to more items, but every item already tagged with it keeps the warning until someone removes it.
How to…
How to add an allergen
Press New allergen. See New allergen.
How to change an allergen
Press the row to open and edit it.
How to retire an allergen
Press Retire on the row, and confirm. It cannot be added to more items; items already tagged keep the warning until someone removes it from each one.
Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar declares Peanuts, Gluten, Shellfish, Dairy and Eggs, in that sort order, so the most common ones show first on every docket that carries a warning.
Salon or car wash
Sparkle Car Wash & Salon has no food on its menu, so its allergen list is empty; nothing here applies until it starts selling snacks or drinks.
