Allergen matrix

Build a per-dish allergen matrix, mark may-contain risks, and publish a customer-facing version.

Last updated July 3, 2026

Build the matrix

  1. Open Allergens and add your menu items.
  2. Check off the allergens each item contains as an ingredient.
  3. Where a risk assessment supports it, mark may-contain for cross-contamination risks — shown separately from contains.
The internal cross-contact note is for your team only — it is never printed on the customer version.

Publish and share

Publishing creates a clean, versioned customer-facing view. Each published version is kept, so you always have a record of what was shown and when. Download it as a PDF or print the chart straight from the page.

You maintain the matrix and remain responsible for its accuracy — ProCafe keeps it organized, versioned and exportable.
