Nutritional tools in the new feature set include:
- Calorie Labeling - Ability to
add calories in order to comply with new menu labeling requirements
put forth by the Food and Drug Administration. Calorie amounts,
ranges, and supplements for menu item additions are supported.
- Disclaimers - Ability to add
both generic and FDA-specific disclaimers, also known as succinct
statements and additional statements.
- Sodium Labeling - Ability to add
sodium icons for items that are required to show items over 2300 mg
in salt, as required in NYC.
Existing clients received access to Calorie, Disclaimer and
Sodium tools earlier this month for implementation on their
Olo-branded front ends or through a design partner for brands
utilizing Olo's API.
Since menu labeling requirements often vary by location and
menu, Olo’s platform supports configuration by location, with a
tool to make changes to numerous locations at once or make changes
across the entire brand.
Restaurant brands are currently conducting their own independent
reviews of FDA menu labeling and calories, which impacts
establishments with over 20 locations, ahead of the May 5
deadline.
Current Olo clients can get training materials, user guides, and
more information here.
