Menu allergen service

One menu source for guests, staff, QR, and print.

Digital menu and EU allergen service for restaurants, cafés, and multi-site groups — QR code menu, kitchen matrix, staff sheet, and printable PDF in sync from one place.

Crumb is allergen-aware and modification-aware by design. EU 1169/2011 tracking is built in, not bolted on — so the menu your guest reads, the sheet your floor uses, and the matrix in the kitchen all come from the same approved source.

No card required · 14 days free · Live the same day

What’s included in the menu service

Four parts of the workflow, one source of truth — so allergen wording, modifications, and printed menus never drift apart.

Allergen control

Track contains, may-contain, and can-be-made-without at ingredient level across the EU 14 allergens.

QR menu publishing

Update the guest menu without reprinting codes or rebuilding PDFs. The QR URL stays stable.

Service printables

Kitchen matrices, staff sheets, QR cards, and menu PDFs render from the same source as the live menu.

Modification clarity

Show guests where a dish can be adapted before staff need to check the recipe at the pass.

How the service runs, from kitchen to table.

  1. 01

    Build once

    Enter dishes, ingredients, and allergens in the Crumb dashboard. Pick a menu style — editorial, hybrid, matrix, or typographic — to match how your room feels.

  2. 02

    Publish everywhere

    One click pushes the menu to the QR URL, printable PDFs, kitchen allergen matrix, and staff sheets. Translations stay aligned per dish.

  3. 03

    Update without reprinting

    Swap a supplier or pull a sold-out dish. Update the source once and the live QR menu refreshes instantly — table cards stay in place.

Full feature breakdown on the comparison page.

Built around the moments where menu mistakes happen.

  • A supplier changes an ingredient and every affected dish needs a clear update before service.
  • A guest filters for allergens and needs to know what is safe, what can be modified, or what is unavailable.
  • A waiter needs a staff sheet that matches the QR menu the guest is reading at the table.
  • A printed menu, table card, and live menu need to stay aligned without manual cross-checking.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Crumb tracks all 14 allergens listed in Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 — gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin, and molluscs — at the ingredient level, with contains, may-contain, and can-be-made-without states per dish.

Yes. The QR code opens a fast, mobile-first web menu. No app install, no account, no sign-in. Guests can filter by allergen or diet and see modifications in seconds.

No. QR codes point to a stable URL. You publish menu changes from the Crumb dashboard and the live menu updates immediately — table cards stay in place.

Print-ready PDFs for guest menus, kitchen allergen matrices, front-of-house staff sheets, and QR table cards — all rendered from the same source data as the live QR menu, so nothing drifts.

Yes. You can manage translations per dish and per ingredient. The live menu, printables, and staff sheets switch language from one source, so allergen wording stays consistent.

Generic tools render a PDF behind a QR code. Crumb is allergen-aware and modification-aware by design — guests filter safely, staff get matching sheets, and EU 1169/2011 compliance is a built-in workflow, not an afterthought.

One menu source. Every surface in sync.
