Helping people find allergen-free and -friendly restaurants, cafes and shops across Australia.
I've got friends with coeliac disease and various food sensitivities, and finding places where everyone can eat can be a real challenge. Grizzly Guts began as a way to find gluten-free restaurants, cafes and shops across Australia, and has since expanded to include other dietary restrictions, such as vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, halal, fructose-friendly, and general allergen-friendly businesses. It was originally built with Svelte and NocoDB as an experiment in playing with Svelte and low-code backend tooling alternatives, but has since been rewritten in React with Prisma as the ORM. It integrates with the Google Places API to make adding new locations easier, pulling in details like address, opening hours, and contact information automatically.
Coeliac Australia is the national body that supports Australians diagnosed with coeliac disease and associated conditions requiring a gluten-free diet. They have an accreditation process that restaurants, cafés, bakeries, butchers and food service businesses can follow.
