THE BREAKTHROUGH

Day one live. Two inputs. We do the rest.

Other systems give you tools. PlatePrep just runs.

Scan the menu

AI extracts every dish and builds your recipe cards. You confirm portion sizes — that's the only manual step.

Upload starting inventory

One-time count. The system locks your opening position. Manual inventory work ends here forever.

Upload sales reports

Every sale decrements inventory automatically. Food cost recalculates in real time. Yield % adjusts to industry standards.

Upload vendor invoices

Pricing updates the moment your invoice posts. No stale cost data. Your margin moves with the market.

AI orders for you

Inventory drops below par — the order goes out. Distributor, quantity, timing — all automated.

Dynamic pricing recommendation

Set your target margin. AI tells you exactly where to price each menu item based on cost shifts and selling velocity.

SEE STEP 6 IN ACTION

Set your margin. We price the menu.

Not every dish runs at 30%. Some at 12%, some at 45%. The blend hits your target.

WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT

No one else has this loop closed.

R365 and Toast give you tools. Adaco gives you inventory. They all require humans to enter data, set par levels, update prices, run reports. PlatePrep just does it. That's the moat.

SUSTAINABILITY · THE WASTE YOU DON'T SEE

Most food waste happens when no one is watching.

The 4-7% of food cost that disappears into mistakes, over-portioning, customer send-backs, and prep yield variance — the waste a chef can't catch unless they're standing on every station, every service. PlatePrep is the second pair of eyes that never leaves the line.

30%

average food waste reduction

After 90 days on Auto-Pilot, our pilot operators measure 28-34% less waste at the unit level.

5x daily

automatic yield audits

Every prep cycle, every station, every shift — PlatePrep compares actual yield to theoretical and flags variance in real time. No clipboard. No human.

cost to your kitchen team

Zero new tasks. The audit runs on your existing POS + invoice data. Your team just cooks.

01 · YIELD MANAGEMENT

Every gram, every cut, every shift.

PlatePrep tracks the actual yield from every primal, every case, every prep batch — against the theoretical yield from your recipes. When your fish-monger sends a 12% lower-yield case, you know before service, not at month-end inventory.

Live primal-to-portion variance tracking
Vendor-by-vendor yield scorecards
Auto-flag any prep batch outside ±3% of expected yield

02 · TRAINING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

A station card for every plate. In 26 languages.

Every recipe carries its own training video, plating diagram, and portion spec — in the line cook's first language. A new hire's first day on the station looks exactly like a 5-year veteran's. Mistakes don't make it to the pass.

Video + photo on every recipe card, every station
26 languages auto-translated — Spanish, Tagalog, Creole, Papiamento
New hire ramp time drops from 6 weeks to 10 days

03 · SERVICE-TO-SERVICE PRECISION

Same plate, every cover, every shift.

Customer send-backs cost more than the comp — they cost the labor, the protein, the time, and the table turn. PlatePrep's recipe consistency engine catches the over-portion before it leaves the line, and the under-temp before it hits the table.

Send-back tracking by station, by cook, by shift
Send-back root-cause flagged automatically
Pilot operators see a 60% drop in repeat send-backs after 30 days

04 · YIELD AUDITS · THE AUTO-PILOT MOAT

The waste micromanager you don't have to hire.

Five times a day, Auto-Pilot Mode runs a full yield audit across every prep station, every walk-in, every line. It compares actual versus theoretical down to the gram — and writes the variance back into your food cost report before you've finished morning coffee.

Five audits a day, every day, every station
Variance alerts to the chef's phone before service
30-day rolling waste dashboard with vendor + station attribution
Eco-certified resort-ready ESG reporting (sustainability audits, CarbonNeutral documentation)

“Five times a day, on every station, in every shift. That's a level of detail no chef can sustain manually for 365 days. The kitchen just runs cleaner because someone is always watching — and it's not the chef.”

— Buddy Foy Jr., Co-Founder PlatePrep · Chateau on the Lake
