Tlcanalytics Reviews 3

Just a quick thank you to TLC for their food environment impact calculator and the follow up work they did with us on the carbon assessment for our Sahana restaurant and bar in Brighton. We initially reviewed our menu carbon emissions online and the free environmental performance labels for the dishes were clear full of information. It kept our chefs and kitchen staff discussing the importance of things like water use and land impacts related to our dishes, not just the carbon. Chefs are intensely focused on flavour so really care about quality of foods, sourcing of ingredients and the natural environment. Because poorly farmed foods create bland flavours and flavours are what counts!
Brighton has its fair share of eco-warriors so having a review on emissions and biodiversity can absolutely do no harm!

Just used their restaurant menu carbon calculator web app. So easy to navigate and totally free. Well done TLC, definitely gonna follow up and get my restaurant menu fully certified. Loved the biodiversity information and rating of land impacts and the effects on water use and water pollution of each ingredient as well as the carbon emissions. Nice getting the info and no sign-up needed to use. We tried some of the others but for the quality of the reporting for one serving and multiple servings and ease of recipe adjustment TLC’s was spot on

I used Total Life Cycle Analytics for my restaurant to identify our carbon emissions per menu item and they were great and incredible value. While they came and did an onsite account of our food and beverage operations after that they showed us their free online tool so that we could work things out ourselves any time we needed to update a recipe. A bit like that proverb, if you want a person to eat fish, give them a fishing rod and teach them to fish, don’t just give them fish. Great experience, really straight non jargon language and helped us see where are carbon and biodiversity impacts lie, and what we could do in operations, ingredient choices and portion sizes to reduce them dramatically.
