Display on Menus
Dietary labels appear as badges on your public menu:
- Customers can quickly identify suitable items

- Filtering allows customers to show only items matching their diet
Best Practices
Be Accurate
Only mark items if they truly meet the requirements. A "vegan" item with butter is misleading and potentially harmful.
Consider Preparation
Even if ingredients are suitable, consider:
- Shared cooking equipment
- Cross-contamination risks
- Cooking oils used
When in Doubt
If you're unsure whether an item qualifies:
- Don't add the label
- Add a note in the description
