Allergen Interview With The Manager:
Q: Can you please provide a brief statement about the importance of food allergen safety at your restaurant?
A: We take food allergies incredibly seriously. I grew up with family having celiac disease. I have also worked in restaurants since 14 so I am always aware of food allergies.
Our whole staff must learn the menu and all of the ingredients.
95% of our menu items are gluten free. We also offer healthier options.
We create everything in house, made fresh every day. All fresh everything vegetables and protein so we can easily identify ingredients.
Q: Do you have any procedures for those with food allergies?
A: We have order cards and our servers instruct everyone at the table on filling them out. There is a line at the bottom of the order card for food allergies. If someone has food allergies they fill out a separate order card so that we make the food separately.
The employee brings the card to the manager with the table and seat number and what was ordered. The manager initials the order and it goes to the kitchen. The Chef follow steps to make sure the food is made separately. The Manager or Chef then delivers the food to the table.
Q: According to the FDA the Top 8 food allergies are: Dairy, Eggs, Fish, Crustacean shellfish, Tree nuts, Peanuts, Wheat and Soybeans. Do you use these ingredients in your restaurant and is it safe for someone with this allergy to eat at your restaurant?
