Automatic Calorie Count Menu Generator for Restaurants

New laws in many regions (like the UK and parts of the US) require large restaurant chains—and increasingly smaller ones—to display calorie counts on menus.

The Calculation Headache

Calculating calories for a changing menu is a nightmare. You have to sum up every ingredient, weigh portions, and do the math. Then, if you change the sauce, you have to reprint everything.

Digital Compliance

A digital menu is the perfect place for this data because:

  1. It's Flexible: Change a recipe? The calories update instantly.
  2. It's Hidden/Optional: You can hide the detailed nutritional info behind a "Info" icon so it doesn't clutter the design, while still being legally compliant.

Our system helps you manage this data structure.

  • Input Ingredients: We can help match standard ingredients to nutritional values.
  • Auto-Sum: It doubles check the math for you.
  • Display: Formatted perfectly to meet regulatory standards (font size, placement).

Don't risk fines. Go digital and stay compliant effortlessly.
