Build an allergen matrix your team can actually use

The problem

When a customer asks "is there nut in this?", staff need a quick, reliable answer. A clear matrix by the till protects customers and your business.

What AI does

AI lays out the allergen information from your own product labels as a clear table your team can read at the till, and marks any item with missing label information. It never decides what an item contains: you check every entry against the labels.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Collect the labels for every product that goes into each menu item.
2. Have AI arrange your label information into a table, with gaps clearly marked.
3. Check every entry against the physical labels, ideally with a second person, and follow the official allergen guidance for your nation (FSA in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; Food Standards Scotland in Scotland).
4. Date it, keep it where staff can see it, and revise it when a recipe or supplier changes.

A short sample prompt

Arrange the label information below into an allergen table for my café, one row per menu item and one column per allergen I list. Copy only what my labels say, do not guess, and write [NO LABEL INFO] where details are missing. Label info: [paste]
