The common ones worth having ready

Step by step

1

The Allergens page

Left menu → Allergens. It works like Tags — same wizard, same care — with the emphasis on being recognizable. First the name: “Gluten”.
2

An icon that speaks for itself

Search the full set — 4,962 icons: bread for gluten, a bottle for milk, a nut for tree nuts. A guest with an allergy scans the menu with their eyes; the icon has to stop them.
3

Colors: visible, not loud

Text, background, border — “Gluten” settles on amber: #B45309 on #FFFBEB with a #FDE68A border. Keep allergens discreet but unmistakable; they inform, they do not advertise.

The list takes shape

Eggs, Milk in blue with its bottle, Gluten in amber — each row shows its pill exactly as the menu will show it. The actions menu on the right edits any of them later.

The core set

Tree nuts, Eggs, Milk, Gluten — and “Fish” being typed: five allergens cover most of a menu. Tie them to products in the Products lesson and they appear automatically.
