In a move that follows recent trends in the US, the Ontario Health Minister is about to announce legislation that will require QSR chains to add calorie and other nutritional data on their menus and menu boards. As reported in this Toronto Star article, the new law would make Ontario the first province to require nutritional information to be added to restaurant menus.
Large QSR chains like Tim Hortons, McDonalds and Burger King who already have digital menu boards in place will have an easier time making the transition. In some cases they can look at their US counterparts and adapt the content to the Canadian market.
However the new law may help persuade some restaurant chains who still use static, printed menu boards to make a move to digital. I am sure many CMS vendors will be making calls once the new law gets implemented.
