Software for restaurants
Restaurant Allergy Menu Software
AllerIQ is restaurant allergy menu software that helps restaurants manage allergen information across their entire menu, give guests a safer way to choose meals, and support staff with a single, verified source of truth for food allergy questions.
Why restaurants need dedicated allergy menu software
Managing food allergy information with spreadsheets, printed charts, or verbal staff communication creates gaps. When a guest asks whether a dish contains a specific allergen, the answer depends on whichever staff member is available — and that answer may not be consistent.
Restaurant allergy menu software replaces this inconsistent process with a structured, digital workflow. Every dish has verified allergen data. Every staff member references the same information. Every guest gets a clear, filterable menu from their phone.
AllerIQ is purpose-built allergen menu software for restaurants, not a generic food labeling tool, not a diner-facing app for finding restaurants. It is specifically designed to help restaurants make their own menus clearer and safer.
What AllerIQ restaurant allergy menu software includes
Auto allergen mapping
AllerIQ reads your menu ingredients and auto-maps each dish against the FDA Top 9 allergens — no manual cross-referencing required.
Real-time menu updates
Change an ingredient or add a new dish, and allergen data updates instantly. Your QR code menu always reflects the current menu.
"May contain" disclosure
Shared kitchen environments are automatically flagged with "may contain" disclosures for cross-contact allergen risks.
One layout, your identity
Your allergen menu reads like your own printed menu. Add your logo, pick your type and paper tone, and the allergen layer stays the same on every menu.
QR code sharing
Every AllerIQ menu ships with a unique QR code. Print it, display it, or embed it — guests scan and filter from their phone instantly.
A dated record of every publish
Every publish freezes your menu and your six kitchen answers with a date and your sign-off, so you can show what your menu said on any given day.
Who AllerIQ restaurant allergy menu software is for
AllerIQ is designed for a wide range of food-service businesses that need clearer allergen communication:
- Full-service restaurants managing complex menus with multiple allergen interactions
- Cafés and bakeries where wheat, dairy, and nut allergens appear frequently
- School and institutional dining teams serving guests with documented food allergies
- Event catering companies creating custom allergen menus per event
- Food trucks and pop-up restaurants sharing menus digitally via QR code
Built around FDA Top 9 allergens
AllerIQ is structured around the FDA Top 9 food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. All allergen auto-mapping uses these nine categories as a baseline, and your digital allergen menu filters by each one individually.
Guests with multiple food allergies can filter by several allergens at once, and every dish reads against all of them.
Share your allergy menu with a QR code
Every AllerIQ allergen menu comes with a unique QR code allergy menu link. Print it on table tent cards, display it at the host stand, add it to your printed menu, or include it on your website. Guests scan the code and open a filterable allergen menu verified by the kitchen. No app required.
When you update your menu, the QR code updates too. One code, always current.
Important: AllerIQ helps restaurants organize and communicate allergen information, but it does not replace proper food safety practices, ingredient verification, staff training, or cross-contact prevention procedures. Restaurants remain responsible for their own food safety standards.

Frequently asked questions
What is restaurant allergy menu software?
Restaurant allergy menu software is a tool that helps restaurants organize allergen information for every dish on their menu, then present that information to guests in a clear, filterable format — typically via a digital menu accessed by QR code.
How is AllerIQ different from a printed allergen chart?
A printed allergen chart requires manual updates every time your menu changes, and guests can only reference it at the counter or on request. AllerIQ provides a live digital allergen menu that updates automatically when your menu changes, and guests can access it from their phone at any time.
Does AllerIQ integrate with my POS system?
Not today. AllerIQ imports your menu from a photo, a PDF, or pasted text, and maps allergens at the ingredient level. There is no live POS integration.
What size restaurants is AllerIQ built for?
AllerIQ is built for independent restaurants, cafés, and bakeries. One account per location. One plan, $149 a month per location, $119 each for five or more locations.
Can multiple staff members manage the menu?
Today each restaurant has one owner login. Whoever updates the menu uses that account, and every publish is saved with a date, so you can always see what the menu said and when it changed.
Is there a free trial?
You can build your whole menu free with no credit card. Publishing is $149 a month per location, or $1,490 a year, with a 60-day guarantee.
Make allergy questions easier for your staff.
Give your team one clear source of truth. Give guests a confident way to filter your menu. AllerIQ is free to start — no credit card required.
