At MenuTrinfo®, we’ve been leaders in food allergy training for years. Through our AllerTrain® suite of courses, we’ve helped thousands of foodservice professionals, from chefs to servers to corporate trainers, understand how to safely accommodate guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions. It’s a responsibility we take seriously, and it requires content that’s not just accurate, but current, accessible, and easy to understand.
That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. While AI can’t replace our subject matter experts or the human touch behind great instruction, it has become a powerful tool to help us enhance and update our training materials more efficiently than ever before.
AI as a Training Assistant
Here are just a few ways we’re using AI to support the work we do at MenuTrinfo:
Text-to-Speech Tools
With AI-powered text-to-speech tools, we can now generate realistic, human-like narration at the click of a button. This tool makes it easier than ever to update course content both quickly and efficiently. If a statistic changes or a regulation is updated, we only need to adjust the script. No more re-recording audio segments or trying to splice new content into old files.
AI Image Generators
When we need a custom image to illustrate a concept (like the proper way to clean an allergen-prone surface or what a clearly labeled allergy menu should look like) AI tools can now generate visual assets that match our content in minutes. This helps us move faster without compromising on clarity or engagement and helps us continue to share engaging, eye-catching collateral and imagery that aligns with our messaging.
Where AI Falls Short
While AI can enhance our workflow, it’s not a substitute for experience and oversight. AI can’t fact-check regulatory changes or correctly interpret industry-specific acronyms every time. It can also sometimes mistakenly create imperfections and oddities in images that only a human eye would catch.
That’s why every AI-generated element at MenuTrinfo is reviewed by a real person. Our experts double check everything because they understand the importance of getting food allergy safety right. We also take time to craft the right prompts and scripts to ensure the best results.
AI: A Tool, Not a Replacement
For us, AI is just that: a tool. It helps us create and update content faster, making our training more scalable and accessible. But it’s the knowledge, care, and industry leadership behind our AllerTrain programs that truly sets us apart.
As technology evolves, so will we. But our commitment to delivering top-tier food allergy training, backed by real expertise and real people, remains unchanged.Ready to take your food allergy training to the next level?
