Food cards, coding signs, and menu boards are all different ways to label menu items with G4G color and sodium codes. These labels are part of the overall effort to educate service members on nutrient-rich options for peak readiness.
Looking to save time and reduce your reliance on printing individual food cards? Menu signs, including menu board, build your own, and coding sign templates have multiple benefits. You can use these in addition to, or in place of, food cards.
- Reduce your dining facility’s reliance on food cards.
- Optimize space in compact areas requiring multiple labels (such as the salad bar or condiment station).
- Save money by printing menu boards and coding signs on an office printer and using fewer printed materials.
- Save time for staff when putting out materials for each meal period.
Tip from the field
Get creative with ways to showcase G4G across your installation. Some ideas include using a screen at the dining facility entrance to highlight new menu items, G4G specialty bar and “build your own” station graphics, and “Featured Meal” signs to highlight available Green meals.
