Took us a little longer to get all the systems playing nicely together, but we have finally started to report the nutritional information of our food on our receipts!  While I am not one who believes calories or fat intake are the end all be all of a healthy diet (eat real foods, not a ton of them, and for most people things will work out ok), I think it is really important for people to be aware of how energy dense the foods they consume are.  Further, I think a lot of people have no idea what an actual meal is calorie or fat wise and our receipts will help change that.  Most food packaging reports per serving size, but no one ever eats that amount (9 out of 10 times they eat more than that).  Our receipts report the exact composition of the food item you are given.  Pretty straightforward.  We have about 80% of our flatbreads live right now and should have our salads updated in the system in the next 24 hours.  We are the first restaurant in Colorado to use this technology (there is a hospital in Colorado Springs that uses it as well) so we are pretty excited to roll it out!  Stop by, order some food and check out the details of your order on your receipt!
