I ask on my form for allergies. Apparently a lot of people seem
to be allergic to vegetarians

Even with a real one - they forget to tell you.

There's a cline from weak to strong avoidance: Food preferences,
diets, restrictions, allergies.
I ask on check-in, person-to-person, and sculpt breakfast around
what I learn. Usually not too difficult as we have been dealing
with the gluten free fad for a long time and vegetarian is easy:
don't eat the bacon.
Gluten free is about one-third of what it was say 4 years ago,
basically down to people who really can't eat gluten.
I've noticed a trend in dairy restrictions, sort of countering
the decline in gluten free. This is a longer conversation: is
the problem lactose or milk protein, is butter OK, is the
problem cow so sheep cheese is OK?
We offer a pretty standard half-dozen baked goods and I pulled
together the ingredients section of the recipes into a sheet I
keep at the check-in service bar so I can drill down on what is
OK with a guest. Takes time but reduces the problems later.
The word "allergy" is a red flag. I ask if its epi-pen level or
not. Other than peanuts, usually not, but if there is an
extreme risk of cross contamination, I may say I can't serve. I
think this has happened twice in 14 years.

I can't handle soy allergies. Soy lecithin is in so many things.
