About
A menu allergen list is a promise. We built AllerLink to make sure it's kept.
Eating with an allergy means trusting a chain of people you've never met: whoever wrote the menu, whoever cooked the dish, whoever took your order. AllerLink exists to make that chain visible instead of invisible.
Chef-verified, not crowd-sourced
Most allergen apps in this category work from crowd ratings, a single-condition filter, or a static badge someone ticked once. AllerLink only shows allergen information that a specific restaurant's own chef reviewed, ingredient by ingredient, and signed off with a personal PIN. If a declaration is wrong, there is always a specific person, timestamp, and menu snapshot behind it — not an anonymous crowd average.
Honest, not falsely reassuring
Allergen safety has no such thing as a 100% guarantee — cross-contamination, labelling errors, and kitchen mistakes are real. You will never see “100% safe”, “guaranteed safe”, or “completely clean” anywhere on AllerLink. We'd rather tell you exactly what was checked and let you make the call — including always confirming with restaurant staff before ordering — than offer a comforting claim we can't back up.
The full allergen list, wherever you are
AllerLink never narrows the list of allergens a diner can select, or a chef can flag, based on region. A traveller from the US eating in an EU restaurant sees the same complete list either of them would see at home — nothing hidden because of where the app thinks you are. People travel; allergens don't become less relevant because you crossed a border.
Where things stand
Both the free diner app and the restaurant sign-off platform are in active development. AllerLink isn't publicly available yet — diners can register interest and restaurants can request early access.
