Dietary Preferences

Members have the ability to set dietary preferences for their account, which enables them to get recommendations for foods they may prefer while placing an order.

 

If a member has set their dietary preferences for their account, you will be able to review them after claiming their order. While shopping, you’ll also see specific preferences listed under items matching items when searching for an item to add or substitute. The app will recommend items based on the member’s preferences, where preferred items will display at the top of the Recommended Items list to help you easily find items that members will love first. This gives you one more opportunity to strike a connection with members.

 

  • To review the list of a member's dietary preferences, tap Dietary preferences in the Shopping Details section of the Order Details screen. A modal will display at the bottom of the screen.
  • You can also access the from the top of the Item search screen, above the recommended items.
    *Note: If you do not see dietary preferences listed for an order, it means the member has not set dietary preferences for their account.



If shopping a bundle, the list of preferences for each member will be accessible to review by tapping the member icons at the top of the Shopping List and then Dietary preferences.
