This unique approach eliminates the need for diners to make multiple calls in advance and provides valuable insight into food establishments’ allergy procedures.

OUR STORY

The Story Behind EatWithoutWorry

When co-founder Sakura traveled for vacation, her family struggled to find restaurants that were safe for her food allergies. They used Spokin, an app with allergy-friendly restaurant reviews, to help find safe dining options.
This experience inspired Sakura and fellow food allergy advocate Ashley to create EatWithoutWorry, a platform designed to help people discover safer restaurants with confidence.
