Calorie labelling is not the hard part. Keeping it accurate is.
If you’ve ever updated calories dish by dish, you already know the problem. The work isn’t the calculation, it’s the knock-on changes.
One ingredient change can trigger updates across multiple recipes and menu items — that’s where inconsistencies creep in.
Harlo stores nutrition at ingredient level, recalculates totals automatically, and publishes updates straight to your live menu.
Portion-aware recipes
Weights and portions drive totals without repeated calculations.
Live publishing
Updated values reach the menus guests actually use.

Frequently asked questions
How do restaurants calculate calories accurately?
Restaurants typically calculate calories using ingredient nutritional data and portion weights, then roll it up into a dish total. Harlo automates that roll-up at ingredient level, so when weights or ingredients change, the totals update automatically.
Can Harlo calculate macros as well as calories?
Yes. You can track calories and macros at ingredient level, and Harlo totals them up across recipes and menu items.
What happens when a supplier changes an ingredient?
You update the ingredient once. Harlo recalculates every recipe and menu item that uses it, including variants and add-ons.
Can I show calories and macros on a QR menu?
Yes. Harlo publishes a live, mobile-optimised menu where all nutritional data can be displayed alongside items, not buried in a PDF.
Does Harlo support allergens as well?
Yes. Harlo is an allergen-first app. Many teams run allergens and nutrition together because the same ingredient-level structure makes both easier to maintain.
Can I manage nutrition across multiple sites?
Yes. Harlo is designed for multi-site consistency. You can standardise core recipes while keeping flexibility where each site needs it.
Is Harlo suitable for small restaurants and cafés?
Yes. Harlo is built to serve single-site operators and growing hospitality groups. If you can maintain your menu, you can maintain your nutrition in Harlo.
Does Harlo help with UK calorie labelling requirements?
Harlo helps you produce and publish calorie and nutrition information in a structured, maintainable way. Whether the law applies to you depends on your business size and location, but the operational need is the same: keeping information accurate when things change.
