Studies have shown that the majority of food related allergic reactions occur in restaurants, therefore, intervening with Foodini will hopefully exponentially decrease these situations. This tool develops a community that is food allergy conscious, as most people and restaurants are not aware about the large number of people that face these dangers. In turn, Foodini addresses the larger issue of the lack of food allergy education and accommodation. Simply having this application on your phone can aid not only you, but your friends and even local members of the community. The impact it has at the local level, with users and restaurant staff, but also at the global level, by bringing awareness, initiates a change in the way our community addresses and deals with food allergies. Rather than labeling this people as an inconvenience and turning away customers with food allergies, Foodini breaks the stereotype and provides the essential help they need to
