Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The menu marks individual dishes with a '(vg) Vegan' code per Wikipedia, and SpudBAR appears on FMGF's Melbourne vegan-friendly list. However a HappyCow reviewer at the South Melbourne location notes 'one vegan meal option' and that 'most meals come with butter and sour cream included, they don't have plant based options for these,' indicating limited vegan substitution. Dairy items are present throughout the shared kitchen.

The menu marks individual dishes with a '(v) Vegetarian' code per Wikipedia. The Uber Eats menu has a dedicated 'Vegetarian & Vegan Bowls' section. Nine community votes on FMGF's chain page flag 'Good vegetarian options.' The kitchen is 100% GF-dedicated but meat products are prepared alongside vegetarian items in a shared space, so there is no structurally separate vegetarian prep environment.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The menu marks individual dishes with a '(df) Dairy free' code per Wikipedia. Eighteen community votes on the FMGF chain page flag SpudBAR as 'Good for dairy-free,' and reviewers note 'dairy free options (no cheese/butter/sour cream)' are available. Dairy ingredients (cheese, sour cream, butter) feature in the majority of bowls within a shared kitchen, so cross-contact risk is present for dairy-free diners.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The Uber Eats Bourke Place menu marks multiple individual dishes 'Halal friendly' — including most chicken and beef bowls, The Chilli Bean Power Bowl, The Moroccan, The Nacho, and both brownies — indicating halal-sourced ingredients for those items. Several dishes containing bacon (The Festival, The Chicken Parma) are not marked halal. No formal halal certification from a recognised accreditation body is evidenced in the sources; the 'Halal friendly' label is a self-declaration on the delivery menu only.
