Allset, the leading food ordering platform focused on Takeout and Contactless Dining, today announced the launch of its new feature, Dietary Preferences, making it easier for diners to find and get the best meal options nearby tailored to their taste and needs. Customers will also be able to relay their allergies and special instructions to the restaurants they are ordering from.
Allset, which raised $8.35M in recent funding, is working with 3,500+ restaurants nationwide to provide an easy takeout and dine-in experience with minimum contact and service time. Diners order ahead before they arrive at the restaurant or order on the spot, with Contactless Pickup, Curbside, and Dine-In options available.
“We’re excited to introduce a first-of-its-kind personalized experience for our users built around their specific dietary needs and food preferences, as part of our mission to make everyday dining more efficient,” said Anna Polishchuk, Chief Product Officer of Allset.
How the new feature works:
1. A customer adds their allergies, diet, and food preferences. For instance, the customer can select things like ‘Vegetarian’ and ‘Gluten-free’, cuisines such as ‘Thai’, and specific foods, like ‘Burgers.’
2. Allset will show the best restaurant and food options by adding the section ‘For You’ on the restaurant feed and each restaurant menu, to make sure the customer sees the right restaurants and dishes the second they open the app.
3. Restaurants see customer’s allergies and special instructions on every order. Besides food allergies, the customer can also add a custom note that will be applied to each of their orders automatically.
To access their food preferences, the customer can tap on a special banner on the main screen of the app, or go to Menu > Setting > Dietary Preferences. The preferences and instructions to restaurants can be updated at any time.
