Nutritional transparency for every takeaway, every cuisine, every customer.
Over 4.3 million people in the UK live with diabetes. Millions more track their nutrition for fitness, weight management, or medical conditions. When they eat at a chain restaurant, calorie information is on the menu. When they order from their local independent takeaway, they get nothing.
Independent restaurants don't have the resources to hire nutritionists or lab-test every dish. The result is a two-tier system: big chains offer transparency, small independents can't. NutriScan closes that gap.
Using the UK's official Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID) — the same data used by the NHS and Public Health England — combined with AI, NutriScan estimates portion-weighted nutritional information for any dish, from any cuisine, at any restaurant.
Other tools guess and present results as fact. NutriScan tells you exactly how confident it is — and where the data came from.
When a dish matches the official UK food database directly, you get gold-standard data with 90% confidence. The same dataset used by hospitals and dietitians.
When there's no direct match, NutriScan breaks the dish into ingredients and matches each one against CoFID individually. 75% confidence — still grounded in real data.
For truly unique dishes, AI provides an informed estimate based on similar foods and cooking methods. Marked clearly at 60% confidence so users know it's an approximation.
Every result passes through validation: salt clamped to realistic ranges, calories capped at sensible maximums, negative values corrected. Bad data gets flagged, not hidden.
A person with Type 2 diabetes ordering a chicken tikka masala doesn't need laboratory-precise data. They need to know roughly how many carbohydrates are in their meal so they can manage their insulin. A 75% confidence estimate from CoFID ingredient matching is infinitely more useful than no information at all.
Someone tracking macros for a fitness goal doesn't need perfection either. They need a good-faith estimate with honest caveats — which is exactly what NutriScan provides.
For restaurants, NutriScan removes a burden they couldn't previously meet. Upload your menu, let the system analyse it, review the results, and your customers can scan a QR code on their receipt to see what's in their meal.
As UK regulations increasingly push toward mandatory calorie labelling for all food businesses, NutriScan positions independent restaurants ahead of the curve rather than scrambling to comply.
Enterprise-grade OCR that reads menu photos, PDFs, and images with high accuracy — extracting dish names, prices, and descriptions.
2,890 UK food entries maintained by Public Health England. The official source used by the NHS for food composition data.
Intelligent dish parsing, ingredient extraction, and portion estimation. Fills the gaps where CoFID data doesn't have an exact match.
Built to integrate directly into the ordering and receipt flow — QR codes on receipts, nutrition data at checkout, zero extra work for restaurant owners.
NutriScan is a product of ServeLogic Ltd — the platform helping independent takeaway restaurants take orders directly, manage operations, and keep money in their local community instead of paying 14–35% to third-party delivery platforms.
Nutritional transparency is one piece of a bigger mission: giving independent restaurants the same tools and capabilities as the big chains, without the big chain costs.
