When a guest asks for a gluten-free option, which resource should you consult and confirm with the kitchen?

• A. Gluten-Free/Allergen section and confirm ingredients with the kitchen.
• B. Nutritional information sheet.
• C. The dessert menu.
• D. The beverage specials board.

Answer: (A)

When a guest asks for gluten-free, the best starting point is the Gluten-Free/Allergen section of the menu and then confirm ingredients with the kitchen. This resource is designed to indicate which items are gluten-free and to flag any cross-contact risks or hidden gluten in sauces or garnishes, with the kitchen able to verify exact prep methods. The nutritional information sheet isn’t a reliable source for allergen status or cross-contact details, and the dessert menu or beverage board won’t provide accurate gluten-free information. By checking the allergen guide and confirming with the kitchen, you ensure the dish is truly gluten-free and prepared safely.
