Glüf was built to solve a real problem for people with coeliac disease. That work has been recognised by some of the most respected organisations in food, drink, hospitality, and technology. From Hospitality Businesswoman of the Year to Startup for Good shortlisting, these awards validate what our 1,000+ users already know: that safe dining matters, and that glüf is serious about making it possible.

Coeliac disease affects 1-1.4% of the global population, with prevalence rising to 4% by 2040. Yet 77% of people with coeliac disease have been accidentally exposed to gluten when eating out, driving anxiety and social exclusion. This represents £47.8M in missed UK restaurant revenue annually. glüf solves this gap with over 1,000 users searching for safe, gluten-free restaurants - evidence that coeliacs will use a tool they trust.

Web Summit is the first international event the Glüf team has attended, and boy did we jump straight into the deep end. Between our exhibition stand, podcast recordings, product showcase, and nonstop networking, we barely had time to breathe. But wow, was it worth it. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights - and a peek behind the scenes of our wild week in Lisbon.
