Nutritional data within our solution is managed at product level, enabling automation and calculation at point of sub-recipe and recipe creation
Applies to:
This guide is for system administrators looking to manage nutritional data and the associated settings in your Kitchen Cut account.
Overview:
Nutritional information in Kitchen Cut is assigned to each product, and at the point of recipe creation Nutrition calculation is automatic, saving you time and ensuring data accuracy.
There are 3 options for how the product nutrition’s values can be created and managed within your system
- *Coming Soon* Managed manually yourself through the Product Import. The product import template allows you to list per100g back of pack nutritional values directly in the system, which will sit against your products and be visible under the Products' Nutrition tab.
- Managed and uploaded by Suppliers via the supplier Gateway (Vendor supplied) – which, once accepted in, will automatically update the Products Nutrition and be visible under the Products ‘Nutrition’ tab.
- Managed through your console utilising the Composition of foods integrated dataset (CoFID) or the USDA (Look-up tool) via the new Nutrition’s settings Tab; outlined below.
By heading to > Settings > Nutrition > Nutritional Data You will be able to enable or disable each of these options.
Additional Tabs under the Nutritional Settings includes:
- i) Settings > Nutrition > Nutrition Mapping Tool
The Nutrition mapping tool will allow the user to map products/ingredients to items in USDA/COFIDS – replacing the need to build out nutrition every time on each recipe. Once your products nutrition is mapped out, the nutritional information will appear under the Product information and your sub recipe and recipe Nutrition calculations will be automatic
NB - each page needs to be saved where changes are made – changes will be lost if not saved when applying filters or moving to another page.
- ii) Settings > Nutrition > UOM Override Mapping Tool
This tool will allow users to add measurement to products where the UOM is each. This is so the nutritional value can be calculated in recipes. A warning will show on product & Recipes where this value needs to be provided.
NB - each page needs to be saved where changes are made – changes will be lost if not saved when applying filters or moving to another page.
Products view
When viewing a product, you have a Nutrition and Allergen tab. If the nutrition is provided by the supplier and the setting Vendor supplied = On it will show against the product.
If there is no data from the supplier or Vendor supplied = Off AND CoFids or USDA are On the user will be able to select and map the product to an item from one of the databases.
The Item needs to be selected and the user needs to click update for the information to show against the product – if this needs to be changed or removed, in edit, there is a ‘Clear Nutrition’ button bottom left.
Allergens can also be updated in Edit mode.
NB - Each Page needs to be saved where changes are made – changes will be lost if not saved when applying filters or moving to another page.
