Who We Are

For the millions of Americans living with food allergies, dining out is more than a social experience - it's a moment filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and risk. Today's restaurant landscape is inconsistent at best and dangerously incomplete at worst. Many diners are forced to ask detailed questions, hope servers understand, and wait for confirmation that may or may not be accurate. Chain restaurants are often legally required to provide allergen information, but it's buried in multiple documents, hard to access, or presented in ways that aren't user-friendly. Independent restaurants vary wildly - some are helpful, others are unaware, and many avoid sharing allergen details openly due to liability fears. This system puts the burden entirely on the diner, making every meal an exercise in vigilance.

Imagine a world where no one has to fear their next bite. Through One Bite Safer, we're building toward a future where transparency, safety, and community come together to transform the dining experience. By crowdsourcing data, collaborating with restaurants, and using technology like AI, we can create a living, trusted data source accessible through tools people already use. No more guesswork, no more scrambling to find answers - just clear, verified information at your fingertips. Restaurants won't need to overhaul their systems or adopt new apps; they'll only need to share the data they already have in a smarter, structured way. This movement, powered by community, compassion, and technology, will make eating out feel safe and inclusive for every person with a food allergy.

One bite at a time, we can make dining safer for everyone. One Bite Safer was founded by Shibani and her father, who know firsthand the challenges of navigating food allergies - and are committed to building a solution for everyone in the allergy community.
