Nutrition — calories and macros on your dishes

You can add calories and macros to each dish. Guests see them when they open the dish. They can also filter your menu with High protein, Low calorie, Low sodium and Low sugar.

The rule

Your numbers always win. Numbers you type are never replaced by a recipe or by the AI.

How it works

  1. Open a dish. Find the Nutrition card.
  2. Type the numbers for one portion, for example 520 calories and 38 protein for a salmon poke. Add the Portion weight if you know it.
  3. Press Save changes at the bottom of the page.

Your printed menu shows calories already? Scan it. The scan keeps those numbers as your own.

No numbers yet? Press Estimate with AI. The AI makes a guess from the dish name, text and ingredients. It costs 1 credit. Check the numbers, then press Confirm numbers.

Many dishes with no numbers? Press Estimate all at the bottom of the card. It does up to 100 dishes, 1 credit each. Each dish shows its numbers when the AI is done.

Where the numbers come from

A badge on the card tells you:

  • You typed these: your own numbers. They always stay.
  • From the recipe: the system counts them from your recipe and its ingredients. This needs the food cost tools.
  • AI estimate: a guess. Check it, then confirm it.

What the guest sees

  • A short line when they open a dish: 520 kcal · Protein 38 g · Carbs 45 g · Fat 18 g, and All nutrition for the full list.
  • AI numbers you did not confirm say Estimate.
  • Most protein and Fewest calories sort the dishes. They show when 5 or more dishes have the number.
  • More filters show when your numbers allow them: Low carb, High fibre and Keto. Keto needs your own “keto” tag on the dish and 10 g of carbs or less.
  • Want the line on every card too? Turn on Show calories on each dish in your menu appearance settings. It is off at first.
  • The chat on your website can answer “what is high in protein?” with your numbers.

Good to know

  • Nutrition is on every plan.
  • The owner and managers can change the numbers.
  • Hide the numbers on the menu for this dish keeps them in your dashboard only.
  • We show numbers only. We do not say a dish is good for your heart or your health.
