Letter codes

Letter codes are short abbreviations (typically one or two letters) that can be printed on production and delivery documents to quickly indicate a meal property — for example, "V" for vegetarian, "GF" for gluten-free, or "L" for low-lactose.

Why letter codes are useful​

In busy kitchen and delivery environments, long text descriptions take too much space and time to read. A compact code next to each item lets staff instantly understand special requirements at a glance.

Adding a letter code​

  1. Go to Administration → Letter codes
  2. Click Add code
  3. Enter the code (for example, "V") and its full description (for example, "Vegetarian")
  4. Save

Using letter codes​

Once defined, letter codes can be assigned to:

  • Meals — to indicate the meal type
  • Allergens / diet types — to appear automatically when a meal contains certain ingredients

They then appear on printed production sheets and delivery labels so the right meal reaches the right person.
