Epicure Digital specializes in developing nutritional menu labeling systems to educate and inform customers to make healthier meal choices. These nutritional labels display as nutritional data, nutritional scoring, and icons representing food groups, healthy choices, allergens, vegan, vegetarian, local and organic, whichever and whenever are applicable.

Epicure Digital menu boards help customers become aware of their choices, helping them make the right decision to achieve a balanced life by eating well. These systems provide tools to increase efficiency, revenues and profitability.

"Restaurants have an amazing opportunity to help customers identify menu items that meet their dining needs" according to Kim Blum, MS, RD, at KB Nutrition Consulting in Dallas, TX. "Whether it is a food allergy, a medical condition, or any other dietary preference necessitating a menu accommodation, it is important for customers to know which menu items meet specific health guidelines contain allergens. Many restaurants are now identifying "gluten free" recipes in addition to making other health claims such as "low fat", "low carb", or "heart healthy"."

"There is a need for restaurants to operate in accordance with current trends. According to the Nielsen Co., 76% of adults said they are trying to eat healthier now at restaurants than they did two years ago (National Restaurant Association Top Ten Facts in 2011). So, this is the perfect opportunity for restaurants to accommodate customer preferences by highlighting foods on their menu boards that meet certain caloric and nutritional guidelines."

Kim Blum is the owner of KB Nutrition Consulting in Dallas, TX. KB Nutrition is dedicated to working with restaurants to provide the nutrition information for their recipes, identify allergens and work to modify recipes to meet certain health guidelines.
