Data
Is the dish library free to use?
Searching, browsing and importing into your own menu are open. Conditions for bulk retrieval, mirroring or redistribution are under Copyright and licence.
Can imported allergens be shown to guests as they are?
Not as a declaration. What is imported is a hint; the restaurant must confirm each against its own recipe. Legal responsibility for allergen information lies with the restaurant serving the dish.
Will others change a dish I contribute?
Once accepted, a contribution becomes a public record in the library and may be updated by later contributions, each with a version and provenance. The copy on your own menu is unaffected.
What are nature, flavour and phase?
A classification of ingredients from the food-therapy tradition, recorded on ingredients as a reference for combining dishes; not nutritional or medical advice.
Opening a restaurant
Can I use it without a website?
Yes. Become a restaurant member and open a restaurant on this site; the menu uses this site’s address.
Do guests need an app?
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera or any scanner and read the menu in a browser. The app is for managing the restaurant.
How many restaurants can one member open?
[number of restaurants per restaurant member]
Can I move to my own website later?
[how to migrate]
Which languages do menus support?
The languages of a menu’s content are up to the restaurant: whatever it writes is available. The management screens and the app come in seven languages.
Supply
Does this site sell goods?
No. It lists supply catalogues and passes on demand and quotes; transactions take place between restaurant and supplier.
Can everyone see my supply needs?
No. Publishing needs is off by default; once on, reading them requires a token.
Membership
How do I change level?
Apply on the contact page; an administrator activates the level after checking.
Is there a fee?
Registered membership is free. For the other levels see the membership plans.
How do I close my account?
You can delete your account under account settings; what happens to your restaurants is set out in the membership agreement.
