The TrustDish Story

At TrustDish, we believe that dining out should be a joyful experience for everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. That’s why we’ve created a revolutionary smartphone app that empowers allergy sufferers and those working in the food industry to communicate effectively and ensure a safer dining experience.

Our mission is simple: to empower allergy sufferers to dine out without fear or embarrassment. 

TrustDish is borne from our collective stories, learn a little more on our journey so far.
