👀 Why is it worth labeling dishes by diet?
The "diet" filter helps customers quickly find meals that match their dietary preferences. Clear ingredient labeling improves transparency, makes purchasing decisions easier, and can positively impact sales.
Benefits for customers:
- Quick selection – Easily find suitable dishes
- Precise matching – Aligns with dietary preferences
- Time-saving – Quickly filter the menu
- Better fit – Ensures meals meet nutritional requirements
✅ Where can you set the diet?
During the "Create a Dish" process, one of the first steps is selecting the appropriate diet after naming the dish, adding a description, and choosing the dish type.
This makes it easier for customers to find meals that fit their dietary needs.

Types of Diets
🍙 Vegetarian Diet
Excludes meat, fish, and seafood but allows animal-based products such as dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) and eggs.
💡Watch out for hidden animal ingredients. Many processed foods contain animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin or casein (milk protein). Always check labels—this is crucial for customers who are very conscious of ingredients.
🌿 Vegan Diet
Eliminates all animal products, including dairy, eggs, honey, and any other animal-derived ingredients.
💡 Look for plant-based alternatives such as soy, almond, or coconut milk, as well as vegan cheeses and yogurts. Good sources of plant-based protein include beans, nuts, seeds, and tofu.
🍗 Meat-Based Diet
Consists mainly of meat (beef, pork, poultry, game) and animal-derived products.
🍤 Seafood Diet
Based on seafood such as shrimp, mussels, squid, and lobster. These dishes do not contain fish.
