Dietary & allergen markers
Example: A neighborhood bistro tags each dish with clear text markers for gluten-free, vegan, and nut-containing prep plus a short legend, so a party including one coeliac diner can self-select on a phone instead of quizzing the server about every plate.
GF, V, VG, DF, N — labels on the menu
Small labels next to menu items indicating gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, or nut-containing preparations. Best delivered as text or SVG symbols with a legend — not as tiny icons that vanish on a phone screen or screen reader.
Why it matters
Dietary restrictions drive where groups eat. If a party of four includes one coeliac or vegan and your menu is silent, the group picks the restaurant that was clear. Labels also reduce staff interruptions: diners self-select before ordering instead of asking the server about every dish.
