THE PASS
THE PASS

Your menu.Every detail.Perfectly served.

A guest asks what is in a dish, or whether it is safe for their allergy. Your server asks The Pass and gets the answer in seconds, on their own phone, from your chef's own records.

Try it yourself Try it yourself

Built by a working chef, in a working kitchen.

A still from the film: your chef's knowledge, on every server's phone.

The allergy question

One question. Four honest answers.

Tap an allergy and the whole menu marks itself. Nothing that needs checking ever looks like a yes.

Safe

Fine as it is served.

Safe with a change

Fine once something comes off, and the change is spelled out in your chef's own words.

Chef must confirm

A shared fryer, a shared oven, or a dish nobody has checked yet. The server asks the kitchen before promising anything.

Not safe

It is in the dish and cannot come out.

The Pass on a phone: a sample menu marked for gluten, showing Not safe, Safe with a change, Chef must confirm and Safe.

Try it yourself

Tap what your guest avoids.

This is Marlow House, a sample menu built for this page. Tap one allergy or several. A dish takes the strictest answer.

These marks come from the same engine your servers would use. Tap a "Safe with a change" mark to see the chef's note.

31 dishes, 12 allergies. About a minute.

In every server's pocket

Everything they get asked, answered on the spot.

Ask anything

Typed or spoken. "Does the burger have dairy?" gets a straight answer, the change that fixes it, and every allergen in the dish.

An answer in The Pass: yes, the burger contains dairy, it can be made dairy-free, and how.

Every dish on one card

What is on the plate, what is in it, and whether your chef has signed it off.

A dish card: verified badge, allergens and what is on the plate.

86'd reaches every pocket

When a dish runs out, every phone with alerts on buzzes, even with the app closed. When it is back, they hear that too.

Answers in Spanish

Curated Spanish, checked by a native speaker. Nothing is machine-translated on the spot, and dish names stay as your menu spells them.

The same answer in Spanish.

Training from tonight's menu

Quick drills built from your own dishes. Practice only: nothing is graded or recorded.

Notes from the kitchen

The chef posts it once and it is on every screen, above every answer, until the end of the night.

Built for the allergy question

It never guesses.

A wrong "no" can put something on a plate that hurts a guest. Every rule in The Pass leans the safe way.

Your kitchen, not the internet

Answers come from your chef's records

Allergen answers come only from the dishes your kitchen entered. The Pass never fills a gap with a guess.

Not verified

Unchecked is never safe

A dish nobody has checked for an allergy says so, in amber, and never lands in a safe list.

Chef must confirm

Cross-contact is its own answer

A shared fryer is not a footnote. Swapping the crust does not clear a shared oven, and the answer says so.

Verified

Your chef signs every dish off

Change a dish and its sign-off lapses until someone looks again. Every edit is logged with a name and a date.

For your guests

Let guests look for themselves.

A QR code on the table or the menu. Guests tap what they avoid and see which dishes work, which need a change, and which to ask about.

Your server is still the safety step. Every guest is told to mention their allergy before they order.
