What are food labels?

Food labels are marks on a dish that tell customers what kind of food it is: vegetarian or non-vegetarian, vegan, allergen-free, and how spicy.

They show on your menu and product pages, and customers can filter the menu to vegetarian dishes only. You set them once on each product.
