Hours and what else is in the building

How to read these numbers

Every figure on these pages is labelled with where it came from. There are exactly two labels, and the difference is not a quality score — it records how we know.

Published

The operator disclosed the number itself — a nutrition PDF, a wall sign, or the brand's own nutrition site. We transcribed it and did not adjust it. Each brand page links the exact document we read.

Estimated

The operator publishes nothing for that item, so we built the number up from the ingredients the menu names, using USDA reference data. Every estimated row carries its own derivation — open “How this was estimated” on the row to read exactly what was assumed.

Allergen lists are never estimated. Where an operator publishes allergens we keep the list verbatim; where it does not, the row says so. A blank allergen list means we have not verified one — it never means the item is free of anything. If you have a food allergy, confirm with the operator before you eat.
