The real cost
Allergens are costing you
£139,035
£772/month per site · 15 locations
Across 15 sites, your team fields roughly 82,125 allergen queries a year. That’s 1,575 every week. Each one takes 4 minutes from staff to find the answer and explain it, and kitchen gets pulled in to confirm a fair share, adding another 5 minutes each time. On top of that, ops spends 3 hours per location every week keeping allergen data current.
Time consumed every week
203 hrs/week
That’s the equivalent of 5.4 full-time roles dedicated to allergen queries and admin.
Where the cost goes
Behind every one of those queries is a person who needs to know what’s safe to eat. The cost isn’t just time and money. It’s the pause when your team isn’t sure, the guest who waits a little too long, the confidence that comes and goes depending on who’s on shift.
