About ROMELA™

Know before you eat.

Food businesses manage increasingly detailed menu and ingredient information, while customers need clear information about what's contained within the food they're considering. Simple allergen lists don't always tell the complete story of what sits inside a compound ingredient. ROMELA was created to help businesses structure, manage and communicate this information more effectively.

How the technology works

ROMELA brings together menu management, ingredient management, compound ingredient relationships, allergen identification, ingredient traceability, customer-facing menu information and venue QR access.

An ingredient can contain other ingredients
MENU ITEM
A dish on your menu
INGREDIENT
What the dish contains
COMPOUND
An ingredient made of others
SUB-INGREDIENTS
What it really contains
ALLERGENS
Traced relationships

An ingredient can itself be made up of multiple ingredients. Those sub-ingredients can contain allergens. ROMELA is designed to follow these relationships through the structured ingredient system.

For businesses

  • Centralised menu information
  • Ingredient management
  • Compound ingredient visibility
  • Allergen relationship tracking
  • Easier customer communication
  • QR-accessible menus
  • Update information in one place
  • Better consistency across locations
  • Supporting staff and customer conversations

For customers

ROMELA gives customers a clearer way to access the information provided by a participating food business. Customers can use the venue's ROMELA experience to review menu and allergen information, supporting informed decisions and clearer communication.

ROMELA does not independently certify food as safe for a particular individual.

Business responsibility

ROMELA is a menu, ingredient, allergen-management and communication tool. It does not replace a food business's legal food-allergen responsibilities.

Businesses remain responsible for:

  • The accuracy of information entered into ROMELA
  • Maintaining and updating ingredient information when recipes or ingredients change
  • Checking supplier and product information where appropriate
  • Ensuring their own food-safety and allergen procedures remain in place
  • Communicating directly with customers where necessary

ROMELA helps businesses manage and communicate information — it is not a guarantee that a meal is safe for a particular individual.
