As a restaurant manager, you can manage nutritional families to have those that are useful when creating your meal plans. This guide will assist you in this process.
Starting point: The Easilys menu.
Nutritional families are used to build meal plans. Once completed, these meal plans can be attached to menu templates during their creation. To develop the menus of these templates, you will be prompted by Easilys to adhere to the meal plans.
Indeed, Easilys will specifically suggest recipes compatible with the nutritional families defined for each meal item in the meal plans. It is therefore important to attach your recipes to nutritional families for it to work.
- SelectNutrition > Nutritional Families.
The table of nutritional families is displayed. This is the table in which you can view all existing and usable nutritional families in meal plans and recipes.
The most important information in the table is that of the Recommended meal items. This indicates the meal items in which this nutritional family can be positioned when creating a meal plan.
- Select + Create a nutritional family.
Label: enter the name of the nutritional family here.
Change color: indicate the color of the nutritional family here. The color facilitates the reading of the meal plan and allows displaying the nutritional families of each meal item in your menus using the nutritional display mode.
Recommended meal items: indicate here the recommended meal items to use the nutritional family. For reminder, meal items compose meal plans and menu templates and are attached to recipes.
Sub-families: indicate here the sub-family(ies) of the nutritional family. This is optional.
Manage my meal items: You can create, modify, or delete meal items through this window. Meal items are used in meal plans, recipes, and menus.
- Select Create to validate the creation of the new nutritional family.
You will then find the new nutritional family in the table.
You can then use this new nutritional family in meal plans and recipes.
- To modify a nutritional family, select the orange pencil.

Note: to build a meal plan, you may need to adhere to specific nutritional recommendations such as those from GEMRCN. You can then provide the frequency constraints to be respected for a nutritional family from the Nutritional family constraints screen available from the Nutrition tab.
