For the working day

The duty is European, the fine is Spanish.

Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 and Spain's Real Decreto 126/2015 require you to declare all 14 allergens on the mandatory list, including for food served unpackaged. The European regulation sets the duty but not the penalties: those come from the Spanish Ley 17/2011 de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición, and they run from €5,000 to €600,000 depending on severity. With a digital menu your team stops confirming allergens from memory: it is written down, in the guest's language, and there is a record of what changed and when.

What you set up for allergens

  • All 14 allergens you have to declare, ticked dish by dish
  • The same allergens visible in ES · CA · NL · EN · DE · FR
  • Your approval per dish: nothing reaches the menu without passing through you
  • A recipe or supplier change applied straight away, with no reprint and no new QR
  • The guest's allergy note reaches the kitchen together with their table

What your team controls

Where you notice it on the floor

Webstability prepares the dishes, the allergens and the translations; the last word is yours. You approve dish by dish before publishing, and from then on you change whatever you need from your phone, between services.

01

A table with an allergy

The guest reads the allergens in their own language before asking, and their note reaches the kitchen with the right table.

02

A change of supplier

You correct the allergen on the dish once and all six versions of the menu are up to date.

03

If an inspection turns up

The information is written down and published, not in the head of the waiter who is off today.

FAQ

Questions before you start

Is it compulsory to declare the 14 allergens?

Yes. Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 and Spain's Real Decreto 126/2015 require you to declare all 14 allergens on the mandatory list, including food served unpackaged. The European rule sets the duty; the penalties do not come from it but from the Spanish Ley 17/2011 de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición.

How large are the fines?

The Ley 17/2011 grades offences as minor, €5,000 to €25,000; serious, €25,001 to €100,000; and very serious, €100,001 to €600,000. The Spanish authorities decide how an offence is graded and what the fine comes to. This is general information, not legal advice.

Do I have to mark the allergens in every language?

No. You mark the allergen once on the dish and it appears in ES · CA · NL · EN · DE · FR with the same meaning. You do not copy or translate anything by hand, and you do not pay per language every time you change a dish.

What if a recipe changes halfway through the season?

You correct the dish, check how it looks and publish. The change is visible straight away in all six languages, and the QR engraved on the table stays the same.

Who is responsible for the information being correct?

You are, as the person running the venue: that is why nothing goes live without your approval. Webstability prepares the dishes and the translations, but every dish passes your review before it is visible on the menu.
