The Receipt

Nutrient Categories

When you receive a Nutricate Receipt, you'll still find the same information that you'd expect - a list of menu items, prices, tax and total. What's new is the look: our receipt is designed to look like a nutritional facts table, similar to what you find on a food package at the grocery store. For each menu item, you'll find four different nutrients, such as calories, fat, carbohydrates and protein, showing the exact quantity you ordered.

Customization

"Hold the mayo" "Add Cheese" "Dressing on the Side"

Today, we ask and are encouraged by restaurants to customize our orders to fit our individual lifestyles and dietary needs. With the Nutricate Receipt, you'll receive personalized nutrition information for your exact order. If you ask for extra sauce on your sandwich, the receipt will reflect your choice and adds it to your meal total.

Meal Totals

Put away your calculators - we've done the work for you. Unlike any other available form of nutrition information, the Nutricate Receipt totals your entire meal, providing additional convenience by saving you time and headaches.

Percent Daily Value (% DV)

The receipt provides the recommended % DV for your customized meals. This is a great tool to help you better understand your food choices and plan your meals for the rest of the day. You may see percentage daily values for both a 2000 and 2500 calorie diet. We know everyone has different dietary needs, so we provide a range to give you a more meaningful perspective. If you have questions about how to use percent daily values, Ask the Dietician.

Did You Know? Messages

One of the great things about restaurants is they offer us countless choices, allowing us to personalize orders to fit our unique needs. This section of the nutrition receipt is for those of you who are looking for ways to quickly and easily understand your options, and simple ways to make choices that fit your lifestyles. Messages can take a variety of forms. Check out some favorite customer tips from restaurants using the Nutricate Receipt:

Did you know? Holding the mayo on your sandwich will save you 150 calories and 10 grams of fat?

Did you know? Low fat milk is a great source of calcium, and you just had over 35% of your daily calcium requirement (Based on a 2000 calories diet).

Did you know? You can choose from a variety of great tasting sugar-free syrups to enjoy with your lattes. Want to reduce calories but not the taste? Ask for one of these great flavors and save up to 120 calories.

Entertainment & Community

Some restaurants may want to entertain you by printing fun facts, trivia, or games for you to read while you wait for your order.

Other restaurants may want to tell you about an important community event that is just around the corner. For instance Silvergreens Restaurant in Santa Barbara, California wanted to make sure that its customers knew about a blood drive that was being held in honor of National Blood Donation Month, and why there was a crucial need for blood donation. Needless to say, on the day of the event, there were more donors than the blood bank could handle.

Loyalty & Promotions

Some restaurants may include an offer or promotion on receipts in an effort to gain repeat business or to thank you for your loyalty to their establishment. This could be in the form of coupons or other promotional offerings.
