Our Story
Travel is about discovery - new places, new people, and of course, new foods. But for millions of people with food allergies or dietary restrictions, what should be a joyful experience often comes with anxiety and risk. A simple meal can feel overwhelming, especially when language barriers make it hard to explain your needs.
That’s why we created Equal Eats. Born from the experiences of travelers, parents, chefs, and servers, our translation cards are designed to clearly and respectfully communicate your dietary needs - anywhere in the world.
Our name carries our mission: everyone deserves an equal seat at the table. No one should feel excluded from tasting local dishes, sharing in food culture, or worrying for their safety. With Equal Eats, you can travel with confidence, knowing your needs are understood.
Because food isn’t just fuel - it’s connection. And everyone deserves to experience it, safely and fully.
Our History
Quality is #1
We consulted over 2,000 people to ensure our cards contained the most effective messaging possible.
Our card design team consists of individuals with dietary restrictions, parents, chefs, wait staff, nutritionists, translators, linguists, and more.
The result? A premium dietary card that strikes a balance of what our community needs to communicate, and what foodservice staff need to hear.
