Our Story
Founded in 2004 by a restaurant operator, Nutricate Corporation wanted to find a way to provide nutrition information to consumers that was meaningful and easy to use. The solution also needed to address operational and logistical challenges unique to individual foodservice operators.
Nutricate found challenges with existing nutrition disclosure methods. Pre-printed materials give time-pressed customers inaccurate, potentially misleading information and force them to calculate their total nutrition values. Websites make consumers take time to look-up the information. For operators, these methods have operational constraints and require a substantial financial investment to create and implement in an industry constantly faced with rising costs.
In response, Nutricate introduced the patented Nutricate™ System, the first receipt-based nutrition information solution. Nutricate, meaning "to nutritionally educate," teaches consumers about the foods they're eating and empowers them to make choices that are right for them. Receipts provide customers with meaningful, convenient and personal nutrition information customized to reflect their exact order. There are tailored educational messages that highlight healthier menu items or help consumers customize personal favorites. Receipts automatically calculate total nutrition intake and % Daily Values, making nutrition information easy and convenient.
For operators, it's an innovative and cost effective way to communicate meaningful information without compromising operations. The Nutricate System easily works with any POS system and allows operators to use the web to update the program when their menus change, saving time and money. The receipt technology is also a marketing tool to engage customers and help grow operator businesses. The receipt system moves from a cost of doing business to a revenue-generating asset.
Nutricate is dedicated to continually researching and developing its nutrition reporting system to remove logistical barriers and to ensure it's of the most value to customers. Our goal is to empower consumers to make the decisions that are right for them, while making it easy, cost effective and seamless for operators. For more information, please contact us.
