The complete guide
Well.now is an independent website that helps people in the United States see what they are eating and spending when they eat out. We collect menu items and nutrition facts from official restaurant sources, show prices only when an official source confirms them, and give you free tools to add up a whole meal. Everything is free and works without an account.
We started Well.now because restaurant information is scattered. Nutrition facts sit in long PDFs, prices change from store to store, and review sites mix real experiences with noise. We wanted one place where each number has a clear source and a date, and where anything we cannot confirm is labeled honestly instead of filled in with a guess.
What we cover
We cover US restaurant chains of every type, not just fast food. The directory includes burger and chicken chains, Mexican fast casual, sandwich shops, coffee and donut chains, pizza delivery, bakery cafes, breakfast and diner chains, and sit-down casual dining. We add chains when we can read complete nutrition facts from an official US source.
For each chain we list a selection of popular menu items with calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and sodium. We focus on the items people order most often and on serving sizes the chain itself publishes, so the numbers match what you see on the restaurant's own materials.
How we source data
Nutrition facts come from official US nutrition guides, nutrition pages or nutrition calculators published by each chain. When a chain only publishes ingredient-level data, as with build-your-own bowls and burritos, we add up the standard portions of each ingredient and say so in the item name. Prices come from official online menus, and we name the store the price applies to.
Every brand page shows the source we used and the date we last checked it. If an official guide is older or incomplete, the data note tells you. If we could not verify a brand's numbers at all, the page is labeled as an estimate.
Why prices often say Varies
Most US chains are franchised, and franchise owners set their own prices. That means the same item can cost different amounts in different cities, at airports and on delivery apps. Very few chains publish a national price list. Rather than average numbers from unofficial sites, we show Varies unless an official source confirms a price for a named store.
For your local price, check the chain's own app or website with your store selected, or read the community page, where diners share what they actually paid and where.
Our tools
The nutrition calculator lets you build a meal from menu items and see the total calories, macros, sodium and daily values. When items have verified prices, it also shows the cost. The calorie budget planner estimates your daily calorie needs and splits them across meals so you can see how a restaurant order fits into your day. Both tools run in your browser and do not save your inputs.
The community
The community page lets anyone post a review, a price they paid or an ordering tip without signing up. Ratings you see on brand cards and in the directory are averages of these posts only. We do not copy star ratings from other sites. For broader opinion, each brand links to its Google, Yelp and Trustpilot review pages.
- Posts are public as soon as they are submitted
- Ratings are calculated only from community posts
- We remove spam and posts that break our terms
Independence
Well.now is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any restaurant on the site. No chain pays to be listed or to change how it appears. Brand names and logos belong to their owners and are shown only to identify each chain.
What we do not do
We do not give medical or dietary advice, we do not list allergens yet, and we do not guarantee that a restaurant's food or prices match our pages on any given day. Restaurants change recipes and prices often. We encourage you to confirm anything important, especially allergens, directly with the restaurant.
- No made-up prices or ratings
- No advertising or tracking scripts of our own
- No accounts or personal profiles
Help us improve
If you spot a number that looks wrong, email be@well.now with the restaurant, the item and a link to the official source. If you want a chain added, send its name and a link to its nutrition information. Every correction we make updates the last-checked date on the brand page.
Our standards for accuracy
Accuracy matters more to us than size. We would rather list five items with complete official numbers than twenty items filled with guesses. Before an item goes live we check that every value, from calories to sodium, matches the official source for the same serving size. When a chain lists several sizes, we name the size in the item so there is no confusion.
When chains publish new guides, values can change. That is why each brand page carries a last-checked date. If you see a newer official number than the one we show, tell us and we will update it.
