Because right now you have a member of staff who's likely not trained on all the ingredients and all the allergens and all the menu items.

And they're the line of protection there.

for the restaurant between the consumer and a potentially life-threatening incident.

And 54% of all allergic reactions in restaurants occur after the staff have been notified.

And so that tells us that the current system of dealing with this by word of mouth isn't working.

Yeah, so we partner with the restaurant chains, food service operators.

We ingest their menu recipe product technology from various tech stacks.

And then how it works typically is they put a QR code in venue on physical menus and menu boards.

and a digital link on their website.

This is the most basic integration.

And then when consumers come into the physical environment or digital environment, they scan the QR.

It prompts them to create their dietary profile, where they can choose from over 150 different allergens and dietary requirements.

And then instantly, it will show them, here's exactly what you can eat.

Here's what you can eat with a modifier and what that modifier is.

And here's what you can't eat and why.

So it's completely personalized based on their requirements, and the consumer discovers this in the restaurant's environment.

Yeah, so just on that, it was signed by Gavin Newsom a month ago.

It becomes effective 1 July 26, and so what it in essence requires is every restaurant chain and food service facility with 20-plus locations nationwide, where at least one of those is in California, to label all of their physical and digital menus for the major nine food allergens.

So this is obviously a major step change for restaurants.

They can do it one of two ways.
