What is the correct approach when a guest asks for nutritional information?

• B. Refuse to provide any nutrition information.
• C. Offer a general description of ingredients only.
• D. Tell them to check third-party apps.

Answer: (A)

When guests ask for nutritional information, the best approach is to provide any available nutrition data and guide them to official sources, while noting that items can vary. This ensures they get accurate, current numbers tied to the exact item they’re ordering, since portion sizes, recipe tweaks, or regional substitutions can change the nutrition facts. If you don’t have the data on hand, offer to look it up or direct them to the restaurant’s official menu page or the manufacturer’s data so they can verify the details for their specific item.

Refusing information isn’t helpful, and a general description of ingredients won’t give the numbers guests often need. Relying on third-party apps can lead to outdated or incorrect data not specific to our preparation.
