SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Restaurant Association has announced a partnership with FoodCalc, makers of the online tool, MenuCalc, which instantly calculates the nutritional profile of recipes. As a CRA preferred-vendor product, MenuCalc will provide CRA members with an exclusive discount of 10 percent off nutrition analysis and regulatory compliance services.
The MenuCalc product offers two unique solutions for restaurants. With the Web Do-It-Yourself Plan, users license MenuCalc's online application for unlimited use and independently perform their nutrition analysis, assisted by training and customer support provided by MenuCalc's staff.
With the Registered Dietitian Plan, MenuCalc's registered dietitians perform the analysis, contact ingredient suppliers and assure compliance of all locations under menu labeling bills. Both plans generate instant results that can be customized and exported into programs like Microsoft Word and Excel. Completed nutrition data can be printed, e-mailed and shared via brochures, menus and Web sites.
Additionally, MenuCalc offers consultancy services for all restaurants that wish to benefit from their expertise in labeling and menu display compliance (FDA labeling certified individuals are on staff), nutrition analysis and ingredient projects beyond the paid plan.
