PapayaHead announces new tools for Registered Dietitians to publish weekly dinner plans

Sept. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- ADA Food and Nutrition Conference/Expo (FNCE), San Diego, CA-—September 25, 2011

Olympia, WA based PapayaHead, Inc. announces the release of Weekly Dinner Plans on their award winning website http://www.papayahead.com. Dean Jenkins, president/ceo of PapayaHead, Inc., said “We are excited to join the effort to ‘Reclaim the Dinner Table’ and believe our published weekly dinner plans are a great step toward eating well, for any household.”

According to Jenkins, PapayaHead takes the work out of menu planning. “Most people want to eat better but planning is hard. We do all the heavy lifting and make it easy for Nutrition Professionals to offer a solution to their clients. ”The Weekly Dinner Plan is delivered via the web every week. Recipes in the plan are automatically scaled to the number of servings that the client specifies. The client can easily search for substitute meal ideas to make the plan perfect for their household. Recipe instructions and a shopping list are included.

As part of PapayaHead’s new Weekly Dinner Plan launch, “We are pleased to offer two programs that make it easy for nutrition professionals to provide weekly dinner plans for their clients and gain a new source of revenue,” said Jenkins.

The two programs are Affiliate and Publisher. A Nutrition Professional can participate in the Affiliate Program by referring their clients to the Weekly Dinner Plans created by PapayaHead’s Registered Dieticians, and receive an ongoing commission for each subscriber.

By signing up as a Publisher, the Nutrition Professional publishes Weekly Dinner Plans under their own name, in custom web pages. They can create their own plans or re-publish the Plans created by PapayaHead. In this scenario, the Nutrition Professional receives the bulk of the subscription fee and PapayaHead receives a commission.
