Control 1

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this group will see a menu labeled with prices, but will not observe calorie information. Used as a comparator for numeric labeling conditions.

Numeric individual

EXPERIMENTAL

Features Item-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices.

Other: Item-Level Calorie information

Numeric individual + aggregate

EXPERIMENTAL

Features Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Additionally, an aggregated numeric calorie count for the entire meal will be dynamically updated as items are added or removed from the meal.

Other: Item-Level Calorie informationOther: Meal-Level Calorie information

Control 2
