The cards themselves are well worded and effective. The fact that only one (double-sided/bilingual - paid product) card or two (single sided/English-only) cards are displayed per PDF was frustrating, though. I printed these on heavy cardstock to survive being stuffed in a wallet, and wanted a half-dozen of them available due to extended travel. I had to export the image to another program to avoid using a bunch of cardstock just to cut out the single cards. Better formatting to allow for multiple cards on the same page would make this 5 stars.
The card is great! The only thing I’d change is I wish it had a note on it to return to the owner, so I don’t have to worry about it getting lost when I give it to servers.
Works well
Being able to customize the card was the best part, and well worth it!
Hi Barbara, we're so glad you enjoyed customizing the card! Thanks for sharing your kind words.
The card really helped me to communicate in Spanish my diet restrictions. You get less than 10 seconds to communicate the information to a server and if you have problems communicating in a language they understand, you have lost the battle before it begins. It will be a start of an physical and mental ordeal. You would think the card is useless in the era of free Google translate but where it wins is that it thoughtfully and CONSISTENTLY communicates the allergen info to the servers, in their own time, who might not be well-versed in English dialect spoken in your country. I am grateful to the card and discovered good food and so many places that are not listed anywhere to cater to my special diet needs.
You're so right - you really have an initial window of time to be understood. We're glad that our cards helped you break through and be understood and taken seriously. Wishing many more safe travels!
