13. Is MenuCalc a better investment than using a laboratory?
Here’s why: Chemical analysis performed in a lab involves incinerating food samples to determine nutrient content. You must test multiple samples of a food to establish an average, and these additional tests can be very costly. However, analysis via calculation involves taking already-analyzed ingredients and scaling their nutrient values—producing a final nutrient average that’s based on detailed averages instead of inconsistent sample variation.
MenuCalc uses this database-grounded approach to nutrition analysis, and is trusted by small and large restaurants alike for analysis accuracy, ease of use, cost effectiveness, and instant turnaround.
