Introducing Allergen Information for Items and Modifiers - POS Applications

To improve allergen transparency and customer safety, Grubtech now supports allergen information for side items in POS systems. This enhancement ensures that restaurants can seamlessly include allergen details in menu import endpoints, allowing POS platforms to display accurate and essential information to customers. By integrating allergen data, businesses can enhance compliance with food safety regulations and empower customers to make informed dining choices.

What’s Changing?

• Menu API: You can now include allergen information for items and modifiers when creating or uploading a menu.
• Menu Item API: Allergen details can also be added when creating or uploading individual menu items and modifiers.
• Get Menu Items API: Allergen information is now included in the response for retrieving menu items.

Key Updates

• Allergen Data for Items & Modifiers – Both items and modifiers now support an allergens field, allowing restaurants to specify allergen codes.
• Standardized Format – The allergens field is an array of string codes (e.g., "wheat-allergen", "peanuts-allergen") for consistent data representation.

API Changes

A new string array, allergens, has been added to the payload under the "item" object.

      "allergens": [
        [
          "wheat-allergen",
          "peanuts-allergen"
        ]
      ],
