Menu Allergens
Our menu system provides ingredient statements specifically highlighting the big eight allergens: milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, & soy. Guests may check on the presence of allergens prior to planning their meals using the Everyday app. The absence of an allergen listed on posted or electronic product signage is not a guarantee that the product is free of that allergen. The guest is responsible for communicating their allergy to a supervisor or manager to ensure safety.
Vegetarian
Dishes that do not contain meat or fish but may, or may not, contain dairy, eggs, and/or honey.
Vegan
Dishes that do not contain any ingredients that came from animals.
Plant-Based
Plant based meals only use ingredients from plants such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. They may also include honey and sugar.
