FoodCALC® Shows Restaurants How to Monetize Nutrition Information
Online, July 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Nutrition analysis provider FoodCALC and The Oregon Restaurant Association are offering a webinar to help restaurant operators market the results of nutrition analysis for their menu items. The free webinar is scheduled for July 12 at 9:30AM Pacific time.
FoodCALC's Director of Nutrition, Alyson Mar RD, will lead attendees into the world of monetizing a menu's nutrition information. Restaurants trying to comply with a menu labeling law are often at a loss about how to best present this information to their diners. As industry trends show diners are requesting nutrition information on restaurant menu items, it is imperative for restaurant operators to learn how nutrition information is the ultimate marketing tool, and can broaden their diner audience.
Webinar attendees can expect to get the inside scoop on why providing nutrition information to diners can actually help drive sales.
This exciting live webinar will cover two important topics:
• Learn how to calculate your nutrition facts using our nutrition analysis tool MenuCalc, the National Restaurant Association's endorsed nutrition analysis solution.
• And for those that are affected, FoodCALC will also discuss the national menu labeling law, how this effects 250,000+ dining establishments and the impact on your operation.
The webinar will take place on Monday, July 12th, 9:30AM PDT (12:30PM EST) - 10:00AM PDT (1:00PM EST)
