GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews (Red Robin), everyone can
experience the YUMMM regardless of their menu preference. The
casual dining chain was once again included on the annual list of
"Top 10 Most Allergy-Friendly Restaurant Chains in America" by
AllergyEats, the leading guide to allergy-friendly restaurants
nationwide. For the fourth consecutive year, Red Robin has earned a
top spot in recognition of its efforts to provide safe choices for
guests with food allergies.
"At Red Robin, we understand how difficult dining out can be
when trying to avoid certain ingredients and the challenges faced
when finding an accommodating menu," said Jonathan Muhtar, senior vice president and chief
marketing officer at Red Robin. "We want guests to feel comfortable
at Red Robin, and we are committed to creating a dining experience
that is both safe and enjoyable for all guests, including those
with food allergies or intolerances."
"Congratulations to Red Robin Gourmet Burgers for once again
earning a position on this prestigious list," said Paul Antico, Founder and CEO of
AllergyEats. "AllergyEats users continue to give Red Robin
high marks for their superior willingness and ability to
accommodate guests with food allergies, including the use of broad
staff training, strong procedures and protocols, and cutting-edge
technology. We appreciate Red Robin's ongoing commitment to
allergy-friendliness, and we're sincerely delighted to recognize
that 'Top 10 commitment' for the 4th straight year."
Red Robin has taken steps to ensure allergen safety both online
and in restaurant so guests can make informed decisions. Through
Red Robin's Customizer Hub on RedRobin.com, guests can create
different combinations of ingredients and menu items, allowing them
to tailor their meal based on taste preferences, nutritional goals
and dietary restrictions. Within the Customizer Hub is an
Interactive Allergen Menu, where guests can select the allergens
they want to avoid and then receive a menu customized specifically
for their needs.
All Red Robin team members are trained to guide guests through
the menu to help them customize their order based on their needs.
Once guests inform team members of a food allergy in restaurant,
they follow step-by-step guidelines to ensure food safety. The
kitchen receives an allergy alert so they can take special
precautions when preparing their orders and use a special allergen
kit, which includes tools that are only for use on allergen
orders.

About AllergyEats
AllergyEats (www.AllergyEats.com) is a free, peer-based app and
website where people find and rate restaurants based solely on
their ability to accommodate food allergies. AllergyEats restaurant
ratings are based on how well restaurants have accommodated
food-allergic diners, and not on other factors, such as ambiance,
service or food quality. AllergyEats lists more than 825,000
restaurants nationwide, which people can rate, and also offers user
comments, web links, menus, directions and more. Restaurants are
easily searchable by geographic location, so people can find
allergy-friendly establishments around town and around the country.
The app, website, and related social media forums help families
with food allergies reduce the guesswork and the anxiety
surrounding dining out with food allergies. This free resource
offers valuable peer-based information about how well – or poorly –
specific establishments can accommodate food-allergic diners.
AllergyEats helps food-allergic diners and their families make more
informed decisions about where to eat and which restaurants to
avoid. The redesigned site – www.allergyeats.com – is now live, and
more exciting updates are planned for the coming months.
