When visiting the average restaurant, vegetarians carefully review menu items and their ingredients or look for small icons that indicate that a dish is in fact vegetarian-friendly—and to simplify this experience, Taco Bell is introducing Veggie Mode to make ordering easier. Taco Bell boasts nearly 50 menu items that are certified by the American Vegetarian Association and it is introducing a way for vegetarians to order that's better than ever.
On self-service ordering kiosks nationwide, Taco Bell is introducing a single-swipe feature that brings up Veggie Mode, which only shows vegetarian-approved options like Potato Bites, Chalupa shells and Hash Browns. On top of this, customers can customize their orders with ease in Veggie Mode, making it easier for anyone to enjoy meatless options.
