��
Description:
�� !� ��"#
CRISp software allows users to create, build and share recipes
and menus, broken down by cost and nutritional value. It
includes 500 ingredients, benchmarked against the latest ��
nutritional guidelines. CRISp also provide support and training.
��
Comment:
��
CRISp originated as a costing and stock management system
��
so it has been used by caterers in some form for some time.
�� !�!��
Many school caterers were familiar with the systems before the
introduction of nutrient standards. The method of menu analysis
�� "#$��
is based on that used for costing which is a weighted average
$��%��
so requires a knowledge of the uptake of different choices
within the menus. ES
