So how can AI actually help restaurants do this?

Because when you do look at a menu, when you do talk to a server, I feel like in this day and age, they have a good understanding of at least some of the most common allergies, like gluten, for example, in people who have celiac.

So what does AI allow them to take a step further?

How does it do that?

You have a background in law.

You're a former corporate attorney.

And I wonder about the liability element here.

Mistakes happen.

Mistakes get made.

AI, LLMs hallucinate.

How do you protect around that?

And how do you make sure that even if a food says it doesn't have something, it doesn't become contaminated somewhere with that ingredient process?

So Dylan, how does it work?

Is it a two-sided market where you have to get the restaurant or the restaurant chain to add your technology, but then also get people who have these allergies to use it?

Senate Bill 68 in the state of California, this is effective next week.

It's going to require major chains to provide detailed allergen info.

Many people argue this is a major step toward transparency.

How has that increased adoption of your product?
