Restaurant communication

Chinese allergy and dietary card

Generate a bilingual card to start a conversation with restaurant staff. It cannot certify that a kitchen is free from cross-contact.

Quick start

Pick a common situation, then adjust anything below. Choosing one replaces your current selection.

Allergies

Translate the food name with a translation app and paste the Chinese here, so staff can read it.

Diet type
Meat I do not eat
Leave out hidden ingredients

Vegetable dishes are often cooked with these, even when no meat is listed.

Spice
Other requirements
