How it works

From a menu you can't trust to an answer you can.

Safebites sits between the kitchen's allergen data and your phone. You bring your profile once; we do the matching for every dish, every visit.

01 / SCAN

Scan the code at the table

Every Safebites venue has a code on the table or menu. It opens in your browser - no app store, no install, no friction between you and the answer.

02 / PROFILE

Set your allergens once

Choose from the 14 UK major allergens and set how severe each is for you. Your profile travels with you to every Safebites menu after that.

03 / CALL

Read the call, not the small print

Each dish shows its safety state for you, the allergens it carries, and the confidence behind the claim. Filter the whole menu to just what's safe in one tap.

The three states

Three answers. Shape-coded so they never blur.

The shape is the most important detail in the whole system - it's what makes the state readable for red-green colour-blind diners, in print, and at a glance.

None of your allergens are in the dish, and there's no cross-contamination flag.

Your allergen might be present, or the dish shares equipment with one that contains it.

A deliberate choice

Safe is teal, not green.

The most common colour-vision deficiency is red-green. A traffic-light palette puts the two states that matter most - safe and unsafe - on exactly the axis those diners can't separate.

So safe is teal and unsafe is oxblood: distinct in hue and lightness. Paired with the circle and the triangle, the difference holds even with colour removed entirely.
