Dietary documentation that rides with the meal
Allergens, preferences, and origin notes — on the label, on the card, in the brief. Why per-passenger docs are non-negotiable.
On a private aircraft, a dietary mistake isn’t a bad review — it’s a medical event at altitude with no easy diversion. Documentation is how we make sure the right meal reaches the right passenger, every time, without the crew having to reconstruct who ordered what.
Three layers
- —Container label — passenger name, allergens, and origin notes on every individual item.
- —Cabin card — a printed menu the principal actually sees, matched to the service.
- —Crew brief — a one-page summary so the person serving knows the whole table at a glance.
