Introducing Allergen Information for Items and Modifiers - Ordering Platform API Suite

In the continued effort to enhance nutritional transparency and ensure customer safety, the Ordering Platform API Suite now supports allergen information for menu items and modifiers. This update is designed to provide comprehensive allergen details, enabling restaurants and food service providers to deliver clear, accurate, and essential information to customers with dietary sensitivities or restrictions.

Key Updates

1. New Object Array: allergens
   A new object array, named allergens, has been introduced. This array is designed to hold all the relevant allergen information associated with a specific menu item or modifier. By including this array, the API enables seamless integration of allergen data into the ordering process, enhancing user experience and safety.
2. New Object: Allergen
   The allergens array includes a new object called Allergen, which holds the details of specific allergens. Each Allergen object includes a unique allergen code, providing a standardized way to represent allergens across the Grubtech platform.
3. Attributes of the Allergen Object:
   • code (String): A unique identifier for the allergen, such as "egg-allergen", "milk-allergen", or "nuts-allergen".
   • name (String): Provides the name of the allergen with multilingual support which is represented in the translation object with key value map.
