Home › National chains
30 national chains, documented at chain level from each chain's own published allergen material. The allergens covered by the most chains are Milk (29 of 30), Egg (29 of 30), Peanut (29 of 30); the thinnest coverage is Gluten (20 of 30). 30 chains publish a cross-contact statement and 1 document staff training or an equivalent procedure.
A chain profile is a ceiling, not a location grade: it records what head office publishes, and individual locations vary in staff, equipment and practice. Document dates are shown on every profile — the oldest document in this set is dated 2021-11-02, which is exactly why each profile also carries the date we last checked it.

A chain document states what the chain says should happen; it cannot tell you what a specific kitchen does on a specific night. That is why locations on this site carry their own listings and tiers, and why each chain profile's prep card leads with the questions to ask at the location you are visiting.
26 of the 30 chains address sesame in their published allergen material — sesame is the newest of the major allergens in US labelling law and the one most often missing from older chain documents. The matrix on each profile shows coverage allergen by allergen.
It means the chain's published allergen document is silent on that allergen. It does not mean the allergen is absent from the food, and it does not mean the chain has no internal procedure — only that nothing is published for a diner to read in advance. Silence is information: it is the question to ask the location.
By documented rows on its profile, Red Robin — 4 documented protocol facts beyond the allergen matrix itself. Documentation volume is not a safety ranking; it is a measure of how much a chain is willing to publish.
How a restaurant gets on this page: its own allergen menu or protocol statement was found and dated, or it answered our protocol questionnaire. Listings with no documented protocol are labelled "Listed" and show the questions to ask instead of a claim.
A chain's corporate protocol is a ceiling, not a location guarantee: an individual location inherits at most the allergen-menu tier from head-office documents until the location itself is corroborated.
