Introducing Calorie Information to POS Applications

[Released on: 5th February, 2025]

Calorie Information for Items and Modifiers can now be added to the following POS Application APIs:

Menu API

• In the Menu API, you can include the Calorie information in the Create/Upload Menu API.

Menu Item API

• In the Menu Item API, you can include the Calorie information in the Create/Upload Menu Item API.
• Calorie Information will also be included for the Get Menu Items API.

This update introduces a key feature to support calorie counts for each menu item and modifier, providing a more comprehensive approach to nutritional transparency.

Key Updates

1. New Object: "nutritionalInfo"
   • A new object, "nutritionalInfo", is added to the menu payload under the "item" object.
   NOTE: This object retains all nutritional information for items and modifiers. Initially, it will include energy data, with plans to expand to other nutritional details in the future.
2. New Object: "energyInfo"
   • Within the "nutritionalInfo" object, we have introduced the "energyInfo" object to store calorie details for an item or modifier.
3. New Attributes within "energyInfo":
   • "amount": Holds the calorie count for the respective item or modifier.
   • "unit": Specifies the unit of measurement for the calorie count.

NOTE: Currently, we only support Kcal.

   "nutritionalInfo": {
        "energyInfo": {
          "amount": "100",
          "unit": "KCAL"
        }
   }
