The Importance of Nutritional Transparency

Why choose nutritional analysis software? Nutritional analysis software poses many benefits to major brands and businesses in their journey toward transparency. Choosing nutritional transparency is so much more than owners knowing what’s on the menu.

Nutritional transparency allows big brands to:

  • Stay FDA-compliant without any stress or overwhelm

  • Update their menus with ease and at a lower cost than hiring outside nutritional consulting

  • Choose the menu formats that best serve them and their customers

  • Curate a large or seasonal menu to best accommodate their customers

  • Easily manage inventory

  • Recipe-specific nutrition labels

  • Consult with nutritional experts and receive expert guidance

  • Cultivate more awareness and knowledge around changing nutritional needs

  • Stay on top of trends in the industry and stay ahead of competitors

Nutritional transparency is also a necessity if restaurants are going to comply with food safety laws. SmartMenu technology also helps restaurants remain FDA-compliant without the hassle. Here’s how.
