How to Collect Allergens Automatically
Automate allergen capture, ensure compliance, and protect your guests
Managing allergens is one of the most important responsibilities in hospitality, yet it's also one of the most time-consuming. Manual allergen collection often leads to errors, inconsistent record-keeping and last-minute stress for both the kitchen and events team. Creventa solves this by building allergen capture directly into the guest experience—automating the entire process from disclosure to reporting. Here's how allergen management works seamlessly inside Creventa.
Allergen Capture Built Into the Menu Flow
When guests view their options and make their selections, they're prompted to declare dietary requirements, allergies or intolerances. This ensures that allergen information is captured at the exact moment choices are made, rather than relying on manual follow-ups or fragmented notes.
Because allergen prompts are part of the menu flow, guests can't skip or overlook them. This greatly reduces the risk of last-minute surprises or incomplete data.
Guests Disclose Allergens Easily
Guests simply select their menu choices and then fill in the allergen section before submitting. They can disclose any allergies, whether legislated (e.g. UK FSA Food Standards Authority) or unique allergens. They can also outline specific dietary requirements (e.g. vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher).
This method is more accurate than manual collection because:
It's simple, clear and ensures venues stay compliant without added admin.
Allergen Data Is Automatically Compiled
Once submissions come in, Creventa compiles allergen data automatically. There's no need to merge spreadsheets, re-enter data or cross-reference lists. All allergen details are linked to:
This automatically organised data helps chefs and event managers get a complete and reliable overview of dietary requirements.
