Allergens & Diet restrictions in the MealTime application alert the cashier during service if a Meal or A La Carte offering contains ingredients that are restricted for the customer being served.


For Allergens & Diet Restrictions to work, they must be added to Meals and A La Carte offerings as well as to the Customer Information page for each student. Once an Allergen or Diet Restriction has been created, it can be edited but cannot be removed from MealTime.
