Where Nutritics is stronger: Nutrition analysis against national and branded food databases, which Paddl does not do; Over 1.5 million foods in its database; Natasha's Law and PPDS labels through Labelmagic; Digital menus and multi-site menu and price bands through Tenkites; Recipe costing with cost and margin impact; Used by large caterers such as Compass and Aramark, by its own account. ## Choose Nutritics if - You need calories and full nutrition on menus, or work to dietitian standards - You are a contract caterer, hospital or school feeding to a nutrition specification - Recipe costing and margin sit in the same purchase ## Choose Paddl if - Allergens should live with the rest of the venue's food safety file: the HACCP plan, the daily checks, the training records and the audit pack - Your brands or franchisees are separate businesses and a head office allergen change must reach each of them, with removals confirmed per venue - You want one published price per location (£69) rather than a quote by users - You want an AI agent that imports your allergens, suppliers and training records and does the setup, with each change confirmed by you ## What matters most **What you are actually choosing between** Nutritics is the recipe and nutrition database: what is in each dish, its calories and allergens, its label and its cost. Paddl is the venue's compliance system, and the allergen matrix is one part of it, next to the HACCP plan, the checks, the training records and the EHO audit pack. If nutrition data is the job, Nutritics does it and Paddl does not. **Allergen changes across a group** In an organisation, head office keeps master dishes, prep items, the products in them and menus, and each business holds a linked copy. An allergen head office adds shows at every linked venue at once, on the allergen chart, menus, public allergen page, QR codes and website embed. An allergen it removes keeps showing at each venue until an owner or whole-business manager there confirms it, each business acknowledges the update, and head office sees in the master's history who has applied it, and can export the group allergen procedure for a Primary Authority or EHO. Nutritics pushes recipe and menu updates centrally; its site does not describe a confirmation step at each venue when an allergen comes off. **One business, many sites** Inside one business, with no organisation needed, products roll up into dishes: an allergen gained on a product reaches every dish at every site at once, and a removal waits for someone to confirm it. Each site's allergen menu draws on the same items, and PPDS labels print from the recipe. **What Paddl does not do** Paddl does not do nutrition analysis, recipe costing, stock counts or purchasing, and it does not sell label printers. Groups that need calories on menus usually keep a nutrition tool for that and run allergens and compliance in Paddl, or keep both. ## Switching from Nutritics to Paddl - The allergen matrix sits inside the venue's food safety file: HACCP plan, checks, training and the audit pack - Head office allergen changes reach every venue at once, with removals confirmed at each one - Public allergen page, QR codes and website embed update when the recipe changes - One published price at £69 per location with every feature A typical move: export the matrix, upload it, review what Paddl read, then switch the public allergen page over. ### How the switch works 1. Export recipes and the allergen matrix from Nutritics 2. Upload them to Paddl and review the allergens it reads before saving 3. Upload supplier spec sheets so product allergens come from the source 4. Check the public allergen page and QR codes for each site 5. Keep Nutritics for nutrition if you still publish calories What you keep: Recipe-level allergen data; PPDS labels; Digital allergen menus What you give up: Nutrition and calorie analysis; Recipe costing and margins; The Nutritics food database ## Alternatives to Nutritics for UK hospitality | Product | Category | Pricing | | --- | --- | --- | | Paddl | Food safety, compliance and operations | £69 per location per month, every feature included, 30-day free trial.

Its pricing page takes an enquiry and says Teams and Single Site licences start from 10 users, with Multi Site on request. Paddl is £69 a location a month with every feature, published. **Is Paddl an alternative to Nutritics?** For allergens tied to compliance, yes. For nutrition analysis, no: Paddl does not calculate calories or nutrients. Pick Nutritics when nutrition data is the requirement; pick Paddl when the allergen matrix has to sit with the HACCP plan, daily checks and EHO audit pack, and reach every venue in a group. **Can a restaurant group update allergens at every venue at once?** In an organisation, head office keeps master dishes, prep items, the products in them and menus, and each business holds a linked copy. An allergen head office adds shows at every linked venue at once, on the allergen chart, menus, public allergen page, QR codes and website embed. An allergen it removes keeps showing at each venue until an owner or whole-business manager there confirms it, each business acknowledges the update, and head office sees in the master's history who has applied it, and can export the group allergen procedure for a Primary Authority or EHO. **Does Paddl print PPDS labels like Nutritics Labelmagic?** Paddl produces PPDS labels from the recipe, with the allergens emphasised, so the label matches the matrix. It does not sell label printers or hardware. **Can I move my allergen data from Nutritics to Paddl?** Export your recipes and allergen matrix and upload them; Paddl reads allergen sheets and supplier spec sheets and offers a review of what changes on the matrix before anything is saved. Keep Nutritics if you still need nutrition.
