Differentiate yourself from the competition and offer your diners an innovative way to see your nutrition information. MenuCalc's fully customized Meal Builder calculator provides your customer with an innovative way of displaying your nutrition information in real-time and improves customer retention on your website.
Note: The Meal Builder is a supplement to your nutrition information and does not include actual nutrition analysis. See our MenuCalc Nutrition Analysis plans for how to analyze nutrition information for your menu items.

- Determine Requirements We work with you to determine your requirements: which ingredients or menu items you'd like to display, how you'd like the Meal Builder to look, any pre-made items you'd like to display and which nutrients to use.
- Provide Nutrition Information You provide us the nutrition information for the items you'd like to display. If you are already a MenuCalc customer, we will import the nutrition information from your MenuCalc account at no extra cost.
- Add To Website Once complete, we provide you a unique URL Link to your restaurant's Meal Builder calculator and all you have to do is to link to the calculator from your restaurant's website.
- Do I have to be a MenuCalc® Analysis client? No. You will however be required to provide us your nutrition information for ingredients you want on the Meal Builder.
- I'm already a MenuCalc® client, do I get a discount? Yes! As a MenuCalc® customer, you will receive a discount on the cost for the Meal Builder.
- My nutrition values have changed. Can I make updates on the data once its been completed? Yes. Provide us the new data and we will update your Meal Builder.
- Can I install the Meal Builder on my server? No. From our experience, the complexity of installation and difference in back-end server types makes it very difficult to install and we would no longer be able to guarantee the functionality of the Meal Builder. By hosting on our servers, we will save you both time and money.
