Problem
People with coeliac disease face significant risk and anxiety when eating out, with 77% having been accidentally exposed to gluten. Traditional restaurant review platforms do not focus on the specific needs of coeliac diners, such as staff understanding of cross-contamination, making it difficult to identify safe and suitable venues.
Solution
glüf is a free mobile app that helps people with coeliac disease find restaurants they can trust. Every venue is rated across four key criteria: staff knowledge, labelling clarity, gluten-free variety, and taste. Ratings combine AI analysis of publicly available information with structured reviews from verified coeliac diners, providing a comprehensive picture of how a restaurant handles gluten-free dining. The app generates a rating out of 5 and a summary of the gluten-free experience for each venue, reducing the guesswork of eating out. While glüf does not guarantee safety, it enables users to make more informed, lower-risk choices about where to dine.
