Description:
Make requesting a smaller meal when dining out simpler with this Special Menu Request Card.
Designed for people who need smaller meal portions due to gastric surgery, gastroparesis, delayed gastric emptying, gastrointestinal dysmotility or other conditions that affect how much you can comfortably eat at one time, the card helps communicate the need for a smaller portion and asks whether you can order a half-size meal or choose from the children’s or seniors menu.
Rather than having to explain your situation each time, simply show the card when ordering. Its clear, easy-to-read wording can help start the conversation with restaurant or café staff while keeping your personal explanation to a minimum.
