Preferences

Layout remembers things about how you eat, so you do not have to repeat yourself in every conversation. You set them once at account.layout.link, or just tell your assistant and it saves them for you.

What you can save

• Dietary rules. Vegetarian, no dairy, an allergy, anything you never want in an order.
• Favorites. Places you go back to.
• Usual orders. So "my usual from Chipotle" means something specific.
• Free form notes. "No cilantro, ever" is a valid preference. So is "always the largest size."

These follow you across every assistant. A rule you saved in a chat with Claude applies to an order you place from a different client, because it is on your account rather than in a conversation.

How dietary rules are treated

A dietary rule is not a suggestion. Layout applies it to every order, and where a rule and an instruction genuinely conflict, it stops and asks you rather than quietly picking one.

Where it applies

Preferences shape the order Layout builds, before you ever see the confirmation. They do not override what you asked for in the moment: if you say "actually a coke" the coke wins.

Nothing in your preferences is shared with the restaurant beyond what an order needs. A dietary rule becomes a menu choice or a note on the order, not a profile handed to somebody else. What we store and what leaves us is spelled out in data we store.

Deleting them

Remove any preference in your account and it stops applying immediately. Removing everything is fine too, and Layout goes back to taking each order at face value.
