Overview
Allergenius is a comprehensive allergen management platform designed for hospitality businesses, food retailers, and market stall operators. It helps you create, manage, and display allergen information for your menus to support your allergen procedures. You remain responsible for checking ingredients, preparation risks and the accuracy of the information you publish.
What Allergenius Does
Allergenius simplifies allergen management by providing:
- Digital Menu Management: Create and organise your menus with detailed allergen information for each item.
- QR Code Generation: Generate QR codes that customers can scan to view allergen information on their devices.
