You can have dietary requirement filters on a range of Abacus ordering platforms:
Table Ordering App
Self-Ordering Kiosk
Mobile App
Web Online Ordering
This means that your customer can filter your menu so they only see the products that suit their dietary preferences/requirements. For example, they may be vegetarian, love chilli, but can't have garlic.
Adding dietary requirements
For each product you want to flag, go to Product Details
2. Go to the Advanced tab.
3. Scroll down to Product Intolerance, Product Allergy, and Product Preference.
You'll be able to select one or more options for the following fields-
Product Allergy
Gluten Free
No Eggs
No Fish
No Milk
No Peanut
No Sesame
No Shellfish
No Soy
No Tree Nuts
No Wheat
Product Intolerance
No Garlic
No Onions
Lactose Free
Product Preference
No Added Sugar
No MSG
No Pork
Pescatarian
Spicy
Vegan
Vegetarian
Then click Save.
4. Repeat for your other products.
If you're an expert with CSV files, you can alternatively apply these dietary filters to multiple products with your "Products" CSV import.
NOTE: You must include the text exactly as it is written above for the CSV import to work (e.g. "No Added Sugar" instead of "no sugar"). Separate multiple options with a semi-colon (;).
