Epicure Digital Menu Boards with Nutritional Labeling Featured at the Southwest Foodservice Expo in Texas

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 24, 2011

Epicure Digital, a leader in digital menu boards, presents the Epicure Digital Menu System with special emphasis on nutritional labeling at the Texas Restaurant Association Southwest Foodservice Expo, Dallas Convention Center, Dallas, Texas, June 26-28, 2011, Booth #611 with Brad Waller & Associates


Epicure Digital custom designs highly graphical digital menu board systems to solve your complex menu and point-of-sale marketing issues.


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.


Epicure Digital Systems is a digital menu board company uniquely integrating its expertise in software technology and food service operations and marketing to create digital signage products and services for the food service industry. Its core product is the Epicure Digital Menu System. Its core services are menu engineering, nutritional menu labeling, and content creation.


The Epicure Digital Menu System lets operators control LCD menu boards and signage in any number of locations, easily and quickly, online, with customized configurable web templates using Epicure Digital LiveMenu and LiveText user interfaces. Operators can change prices and menus, schedule menus and promotions by day part and menu cycle, and display other information such as nutritional labeling and data, videos, photos, and live feeds from the Internet. Clients operate more efficiently and engage customers in powerful new ways.


Epicure Digital engineers and designs customized digital menu boards for each client that solve their complex menu engineering and point-of-sale marketing issues with multi-screen and multi-station digital menus, signage and greeter board systems.


In new construction, remodeling and renovation projects, Epicure Digital works closely with food service consultants and clients to determine the best digital menu system strategy and participates in the management of the projects from concept phase to full implementation.
