Restaurant Allergen Communication Record

A dated record of exactly what you told a restaurant about your allergy — and what staff confirmed back.

When a reaction happens, it comes down to who said what

Allergen requests get passed from you to a server to a kitchen, verbally, in a few seconds at the table. When something goes wrong, there's rarely any record of what was actually disclosed, or what the restaurant confirmed back to you.

This record gives you a dated, written trail of the allergen you disclosed, who you told, and what was confirmed — evidence that matters if a reaction happens despite you doing everything right.

Step by step

  1. Log the allergen or intolerance disclosed, its severity, and the date/time.
  2. Record who you told — server name or role — and how (verbally, on an order app, or in writing).
  3. Note what was confirmed back to you, including any substitutions or kitchen changes agreed.
  4. If a reaction happens anyway, use the incident follow-up section to log symptoms and next steps immediately.

Anyone eating out with a food allergy or intolerance

Whether it's a severe allergy or an intolerance you'd rather avoid triggering, this gives you a real record of the conversation — not just a memory of it.
