ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 23, 2009 — Lifeware TEK announced today the addition of the ESHAdata nutrient database to its premier online foodservice platform, i-COOK(TM) Professional. Providing over 25,000 incremental ingredients from the ESHA database, i-COOK(TM) Professional offers restaurant operators with an unparalleled, cost-efficient, online system for calculating nutrition, managing recipes, recipe costing and menu engineering. i-COOK(TM) Professional will debut at the National Restaurant Association Show 2009 in Chicago beginning May 16.
Comprising 20 nutrients, food category exchanges, and pyramid information, the inclusion of the ESHAdata nutrient database in the i-COOK(TM) Professional application ensures that operators will receive robust, consistent nutrition analysis for every recipe and menu item. The online platform offers integrated nutrition, product mapping, and costing capabilities with user-friendly templates streamlining the nutrition analysis and costing processes.
The i-COOK(TM) Professional foodservice platform features online product catalogs, social networking, and real-time messaging, connecting key foodservice stakeholders by streamlining processes and creating a new channel for direct communication between manufacturers, distributors, operators and consumers. i-COOK(TM) Professional also includes promotional mechanisms establishing a unique and dynamic direct network for foodservice marketers.
Steve Kent, Lifeware TEK CEO, states, “By adding ESHA’s award-winning database to i-COOK(TM) Professional, we have developed an optimal solution for independent restaurant operators. As menu-labeling legislation becomes more pervasive, operators will need a low-cost, highly reliable tool that will enable them to comply with new laws in a rapid and expeditious manner. The i-COOK(TM) Professional platform allows them to ramp up easily.”
