Where to find it

Open your organisation home and choose Food beside Overview. It shows one row for each business you see as a whole. An area manager who sees only some of a business's sites doesn't see that business here, because its food is shared by all its sites.

At the top are totals across the group. Under them, each business has a card with a status: Urgent, Needs attention or Up to date. The businesses with the most to do come first, and a card lists only what is waiting there.

What a card can show

Line

What it means

To confirm

Group dishes and products that arrived and nobody there has checked yet. They stay off the allergen page until someone does.

Removals held

Allergens head office took off that are waiting for a person at the business to confirm, and how long the oldest has waited.

To acknowledge

Updates applied there that nobody has acknowledged yet, how long the oldest has waited, and how many are overdue.

Variants · stricter

Local variants the business declared, then items where it lists more allergens than head office does.

Look-alikes

The business's own products that look like one of yours and have not been linked or skipped. Review them from the library's Products page.

Till gaps

Products the till sells there with no allergen record.

Allergen training

Staff with an allergen training in date, out of all staff. Amber below 80%, red below 50%. You see the numbers, never the names.

Written info

Whether every dish on each live menu has its 14 allergens on a published page. It names a menu that doesn't.

Group menus

The version of each group menu the business had applied.

Where a product, dish or menu is used

Type a name in the search box. A side panel lists the matching group items and, for each business, whether it is up to date, behind, made its own or never took it, with when each version was applied and acknowledged.

Looking back to a date

Pick a day under On a date. The menu versions, and the versions in the side panel, show what each business had applied by the end of that day. This answers an inspector's question about which version a business was using on a given date. Back to today returns to now.

Reminding a business

Admins and library editors see Remind on a card with updates waiting to be acknowledged. It reminds the business about each of them. A business is reminded once a day at most. Allergen removals already have their own alert at the business.

Substitutions

Under the table, Open substitutions lists deliveries where a supplier sent something in place of a group product and nobody there has decided what it means yet. See When a delivery brings a substitute for a group product.
