What Participating Restaurants Say About the Program:
"I am pleased to serve gluten-free selections, because the people who need them are so appreciative."
"With a little bit of care and slight modifications, cooking gluten-free is not so difficult!"
"I was skeptical at first, but having monitored the ordering of the gluten-free menu items, I find it has increased our business 8-10%."
"We started the process with two gluten-free entrees; now we have six gluten-free entrees, three appetizers, and two desserts. Ours is a patron driven menu."
"I am VERY happy with the GFRAP program. I have someone ordering gluten free every night! I was really surprised at the number of new customers this program brought in. It is great not to have to figure out all the information in the middle of a busy night - which foods the customers can eat and which they cannot. I will soon change all of my menus, so that they all have gluten-free selections. We recently added gluten-free pasta and beer."
"The other day I went to talk to some of my customers – a group of ten. They were from 200 miles away. Gluten-free people like to travel! They found us on the GFRAP website."
