Managing allergens in a mixed-use hospitality site—think hotel with event spaces, café, shared kitchens, and room service—can feel like juggling while blindfolded. I’ve worked on sites like this for years and the single best control I’ve developed is a practical allergen zone map. It’s a visual, operational tool that pinpoints where allergens live, how they travel, and what controls we...
