ONLY
Focused gluten-free — dedicated GF menu or kitchen focus
ONLY means the place is focused gluten-free: a dedicated GF menu or a kitchen focus on gluten-free food. The tag describes what is offered. It is not a verdict about a plate.
The vocabulary
ONLY, ALSO, and ASK describe the offering — not a medical verdict.
One primary tag per place. The word always sits on the badge; color alone is not enough. Places without enough evidence stay off the public board.
ALSO
Gluten-free options alongside the regular menu
ALSO means gluten-free options sit alongside the regular menu. It describes what is offered, not how carefully a kitchen separates ingredients.
ASK
Ask staff about gluten-free options
ASK means ask staff about gluten-free options. It is not confirmed ONLY or ALSO inventory. Places without enough evidence for ONLY or ALSO stay off Explore and Map — they are not shown as live inventory.
Tags describe what's offered, not safety. Menus and kitchen practices change; confirm with staff, especially about separation and cross-contact. Read the full definitions

A confirmed gluten-free menu, a hidden list of dishes, or a label for places we could not verify. Unverified places stay off Explore and Map.

Why not a 1–5 gluten-free score?
Scores hide the thing that actually changes a decision: whether the offering is focused gluten-free, gluten-free options alongside the regular menu, or something you ask staff about. Other diners’ stars are not a fact about wheat flour in the fryer. SenzaFind refuses to invent that number.
What stays off the board
If there is nothing useful to say, SenzaFind does not list the place and does not relabel it ASK. “Unknown but probably fine” is not a classification we will ship.
Tags describe what's offered, not safety. Menus and kitchen practices change; confirm with staff, especially about separation and cross-contact.
