Use the allergen matrix

The allergen matrix lists every menu item against the allergen codes it contains, including allergens added by modifiers. Front of house uses it to answer a guest in seconds.

Before you start: recipes access. Allergen declarations are recorded per stock item under Safety and per menu item under Recipes.

Read the matrix

1. Open Recipes › Allergens.
2. Rows are menu items; columns are theallergen codes from the Malaysian declaration list.
3. A filled cell means the item contains that allergen, either from an ingredient or from a modifier.

Answer a guest

1. Choose Guest allergy filter and tick the guest's allergens.
2. The matrix collapses to a safe-items list. Read it to the guest or show the screen.
3. Clear the filter afterwards.

Keep it accurate

• Allergen truth starts at the stock item. Declare allergens when a new item enters the catalogue (Safety › Allergens).
• Modifier groups carry their own allergens, so a sauce swap changes the answer.
• Record a cross-contact event under Safety › Allergens when it happens, and clear it when the line is clean.
