I always have several copes of a list of all the ingredients in every 
dish, so that anyone with allergies who has not gotten in touch in 
advance can check the list to see what is safe. I have a copy at the 
gate (check-in table), another posted by the kitchen, and a few more 
available; I make sure the servers know about the existence of this 
list. Now if people don't check the list, there's not a whole lot you 
can do.
