Introduction
If you'd like to let Customers know how many calories are in a dish Spoonfed makes it easy by allowing you to input how many Calories are in a given portion of food.
Note: First, make sure the feature is turned on in the system. If you don't see the option to add Calorie Labels in a Menu, ask a Customer Success Partner to turn on this feature.
Choose to call this section Calories, KJ, or KCAL, depending on how your region identifies calories.
