# ONLY, ALSO, ASK — SenzaFind labels

> Tags describe what's offered, not safety. Menus and kitchen practices change; confirm with staff, especially about separation and cross-contact.

## ONLY

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.

- **Is:** Focused gluten-free — a dedicated GF menu or kitchen focus. The word ONLY sits on the badge; color alone is not enough.
- **Is not:** A certification, a ranking, or a promise that separation and cross-contact never change. Confirm the current offering with staff.
- **Example:** A bakery or kitchen that presents a dedicated gluten-free menu, or whose kitchen focus is gluten-free food. Confirm what is offered on the day you go.
- **When to use:** Use ONLY when you want a focused gluten-free offering — a dedicated GF menu or kitchen focus — then confirm with staff.

## ALSO

ALSO means gluten-free options sit alongside the regular menu. It describes what is offered, not how carefully a kitchen separates ingredients.

- **Is:** Gluten-free options alongside the regular menu. Source type and recency sit with the claim.
- **Is not:** A focused gluten-free kitchen, a score, or a promise about separation and cross-contact. Confirm the dish with staff.
- **Example:** A restaurant that lists gluten-free pasta on the menu and also serves wheat pasta. Read what is offered, then confirm preparation with staff.
- **When to use:** Use ALSO when gluten-free options alongside a regular menu are enough for you to consider, then confirm with staff.

## ASK

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.

- **Is:** A prompt to ask staff about gluten-free options. Treat it as a conversation, with a phrase card if you need one.
- **Is not:** 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.
- **Example:** A hotel where breakfast gluten-free options are something to ask the desk about. Confirm with staff; the tag is not a booking guarantee.
- **When to use:** Use ASK when you will ask staff. Do not treat an unlisted place as inventory waiting behind the tag.
