Healthy Dining Finder: Nutritional Information For Your Website
As a consumer-facing tool, Healthy Dining Finder allows users to search restaurant menus for nutritional information. For restaurants, they provide custom menu analysis and nutritional information, and make it available on their website. Currently, the site has a lot of fast food chains, however there are some fine dining exceptions. Healthy Dining Finder claims that restaurant owners can capitalize on the health benefits of their menu offerings by providing nutritional data. Apart from the economic value, the overall transparency conveyed by a restaurant in sharing nutritional information can also reflect very positively on customers’ perceptions.
On a side note: Rather than nutritional information, I know many diners would be happy with general information for allergies and special diets included on websites. This shouldn’t require rigorous scientific nutritional analysis – just a little bit of recipe information from the kitchen.
