Inclusive Menu: How to adapt your menu for Celiacs and Vegans without going crazy

The customer has changed. Nowadays, it's rare to find a table of 4 where no one has a special dietary need: a vegan, a celiac, someone lactose intolerant, or someone on a keto diet.

For many restaurants, this is an operational headache. For smart restaurants, it's a business opportunity.

"If you make life easy for these groups, you'll earn their loyalty forever. Here we explain how to do it without complicating your operations, using your digital menu."

The chaos of icons on paper

Have you tried putting icons for everything on a paper menu? A lettuce leaf (vegan), a crossed-out wheat stalk (gluten-free), a crossed-out cow (lactose-free), a chili pepper... In the end, your menu looks like Egyptian hieroglyphics that confuse more than help.

Physical space is limited, and overwhelming the customer with symbols makes the reading experience stressful.

The Magic of the "Digital Filter"

The great advantage of an interactive QR Menu is personalization. A vegan customer doesn't want to see steaks. A celiac customer doesn't want to see pasta dishes they can't eat.

• Personalized Experience: The customer taps "Vegan Options Only" and the menu magically rearranges.

• Inclusion: The customer feels cared for, not "the annoying one at the table."

• Time Saving: No more endless questions to the waiter about ingredients.

The Cross-Contamination Warning

Caution: Offering "Gluten-Free" options is not the same as being a certified celiac-safe restaurant. Cross-contamination in the kitchen is a real risk.

Conclusion: Build Loyalty Through Ease

Customers with dietary restrictions are usually the ones who decide which restaurant the group of friends goes to (the group "veto"). If your menu makes it easy for them, the whole group will come to your place.
