What is the first step in Allergy Procedures?

• A. Place an allergy sticker on to-go orders.
• B. Complete a Guest Allergy Yellow Ticket after ordering.
• C. Document the allergy in OpenTable.
• D. Notify a Manager or Chef when a Guest indicates a food allergy.

Answer: (D)

When a guest indicates a food allergy, the immediate action is to alert a Manager or Chef. This ensures the kitchen and service leadership are informed right away so they can implement the correct safety steps—verifying ingredients, preventing cross-contact, and coordinating with the team on how the dish will be prepared. This leadership notification triggers the necessary checks and adjustments before any food is prepared, keeping the guest safe.

Stickers on to-go orders or documenting the allergy in a system like OpenTable are supportive steps that come after the initial alert, and the Yellow Ticket is a downstream documentation task tied to the order process rather than the first action in the safety sequence.
