Recipes in someone's head are hard to hand over. PlatePrep documents recipes, costs, ordering, and training so buyers can understand how the kitchen runs, not just what is on the menu.

THE VALUE OF 10 LIVE CLIENTS
At PlatePrep’s standard $499 monthly subscription, each eligible paying client generates a $250 signing commission plus $99.80 in monthly recurring commission. Ten active clients can create meaningful continuing income from relationships you have already built.
Signing commissions when 10 eligible referred restaurants sign and pay their first eligible invoices.
Recurring commission while all 10 eligible $499 accounts remain active and paying.
Annual recurring commission while all 10 eligible accounts remain active and paying.
Combined signing and recurring commissions during the first 12 fully paid months.
If all 10 accounts remain eligible and fully paid for 24 months, total illustrated compensation would be $26,452.
One introduction can produce recurring income for the life of an eligible paying account. Ten successful introductions can become a meaningful recurring revenue stream.
Illustration assumes 10 eligible accounts at the standard $499 monthly subscription, 12 or 24 fully collected monthly payments, and continued compliance with the signed partner agreement. It does not guarantee earnings. Signing and recurring commissions are paid only on eligible customer payments actually collected by PlatePrep. Cancellations, refunds, nonpayment, pricing changes and other agreement terms may reduce compensation.
The compensation recognizes more than a name on a list. The broker makes both a three-way email introduction and a three-way text introduction, helps secure the initial appointment, provides a relationship follow-up when an interested owner becomes distracted, and checks in approximately 30–60 days after the restaurant goes live. PlatePrep handles the demonstration, formal sales process, closing, onboarding, implementation and customer support.
See Exactly What the Broker DoesYou bring the relationship and help keep the connection moving. PlatePrep owns the demonstration, formal sales process, closing, onboarding, implementation, and customer support.
01 / INTRODUCE
Identify the right owner or decision-maker and obtain permission. Send a three-way email and a separate three-way group text. Offer a live telephone handoff when practical and help secure the initial demonstration.
02 / RECONNECT
After the demonstration, if the owner wants to proceed but becomes distracted or difficult to reach, provide a reasonable relationship follow-up when requested by PlatePrep.
03 / CHECK IN
Check in approximately 30–60 days after the restaurant goes live. Send relevant feedback or concerns to PlatePrep so our team can handle the next step.
A referral is not fully introduced merely because a name was submitted through a form. Complete both permission-based introductions, then let PlatePrep take responsibility for scheduling and conducting the demonstration.
01 / PERMISSION
Receive permission from the restaurant owner or decision-maker to make the email and group-text introductions.
02 / BOTH INTRODUCTIONS
Connect the owner and Buddy in a three-way email and a separate three-way group text. When practical, arrange a live telephone handoff.
03 / WRITTEN CONFIRMATION
PlatePrep confirms receipt and attribution in writing and separately confirms eligibility. Form submission alone is not referral approval.
Apply with PlatePrep AI Inc, choose your payout preference, and electronically sign the short agreement. We save your application before issuing your unique broker ID and referral link.
Provide your legal name, brokerage, email, mobile, and business mailing address. Review and electronically sign the short agreement; download your application receipt for your records.
Select your preferred payout method. ACH banking details and tax documents are collected separately through a secure service. Zelle and PayPal use your enrolled email or mobile and recipient name. Every payout is manually reviewed and approved.
Give the client your ID or referral link before they launch. The ID stays with their saved inquiry and signed Stripe checkout reference. Verified payment notifications link billing records back to that introduction. PlatePrep separately confirms referral eligibility and attribution; an ID or payment alone does not approve commissions.

Client subscription and billing portal
No bank account numbers, tax IDs, passwords, or card details belong in the public signup form. A launch inquiry is not a paid subscription or completed onboarding.
Pick the one that fits how you learn: the kitchen — chef-driven, hands-on, real service — or the pitch — why every hour on paperwork is an hour off the line.
Buyers need to understand what keeps the kitchen running. Documenting that knowledge gives the seller a practical way to answer operational questions.
Give buyers something concrete to review. Sale price, timing, and transaction outcomes depend on the deal; PlatePrep does not guarantee them.
Show the recipes, portion standards, and routines behind the business. Help buyers understand what they are acquiring beyond the equipment and lease.
Bring organized recipes, costs, and procedures to the conversation. Reduce the need to piece together kitchen knowledge from notebooks and memory.
Give the incoming team a documented starting point for recipes, ordering, and training. Plan account access and ownership permissions before the transition.
Move from scattered knowledge to a structured operating record. Recipe ownership, permissions, and any transfer remain part of the parties' sale arrangements.
A clearer picture of the kitchen, ready for review and a planned handoff.
Bring recipe know-how out of someone's head and into a documented business asset. Record ingredients, portions, and preparation standards your team can repeat.
Food cost intelligence for every dish. Give operators a clearer view of what each plate costs, what it earns, and where margin can improve.
Your vision. An AI sous-chef. Explore new dishes and refine recipes while keeping the operator in control of the final result.
Upload one menu. Our AI builds an intelligent order guide for your team to review, connect to vendors, and use in daily operations.
More than a basic template. Create and customize branded menus, with a consistent look across locations.
Our AI training platform turns recipes into repeatable standards. Train every station in 26 languages for more consistent service, not a promise of perfect reviews.
Make both permission-based introductions and support the three relationship touchpoints. Compensation follows an eligible, paying account and the signed agreement.
Per listing that signs and pays first invoice.
Of eligible Core subscription fees actually collected, subject to the signed agreement.
Separate from your brokerage fee. PlatePrep referral compensation is governed by the signed partner agreement. Payment follows customer collections, not the restaurant's sale price or closing date.

Bring one independent restaurant listing to a discovery call. Our team reviews the operating needs and explains the broker program.
Complete broker signup, sign the short agreement, and save your broker ID and receipt. With the owner's permission, make both a three-way email introduction and a three-way text-message introduction. When practical, also provide a live telephone handoff. PlatePrep separately confirms your application, referral eligibility, and attribution in writing.
The initial menu upload starts setup. The operator then confirms recipes, costs, vendor details, and training needs. We agree the rollout schedule with the restaurant rather than promise a fixed completion date.
The signing bonus follows the first cleared invoice. Eligible recurring commission is paid monthly in arrears under the agreement, separately from any brokerage fee.
The broker makes both a three-way email introduction and a three-way text-message introduction. A live telephone handoff is encouraged when practical.
Email provides the complete picture: the PlatePrep explanation, website links, contact information, and a written record of the referral.
Group text creates the personal connection: it brings the same parties together immediately and makes communication and demonstration scheduling easier.
A live handoff adds a personal start: connect everyone by phone when you are with the owner or can conveniently arrange it.
PlatePrep confirms receipt and referral attribution in writing and separately confirms referral eligibility. Our team takes responsibility for scheduling and conducting the demonstration. You remain available for the defined post-demonstration and 30–60 day relationship follow-ups.
A complete broker introduction normally includes both a permission-based three-way email and a three-way group text connecting PlatePrep with the restaurant owner or decision-maker. PlatePrep must separately confirm referral eligibility and attribution.
Submitting a form, name or contact record alone does not automatically create an approved or commission-eligible referral. Compensation remains subject to your signed agreement and its Qualified Referral requirements.
Get permission first, replace the bracketed details, and include the owner and Buddy in both conversations. Email Buddy at chef@plateprep.com; add 201-206-8442 to the group text. Include your brokerage and broker ID in your email signature, and share your client referral link. Apply and get your ID; your application remains pending review until PlatePrep confirms acceptance.
The text link opens a message to Buddy only. Add the restaurant owner as a recipient before sending to create the required three-way group text. Nothing is sent automatically.

No. You operate your own independently owned business as an independent contractor, not an employee of PlatePrep AI Inc. The agreement does not create an employer-employee relationship, salary, employee benefits, or guaranteed hours. Subject to the agreed obligations and applicable law, you control how, when, and where you perform your services.
They are referral commissions, not wages. The 20% recurring commission applies to eligible subscription payments actually collected from your confirmed Qualified Referrals. Under the agreement, recurring commissions on accounts already paying when the partnership ends continue while those accounts remain continuously paying, except termination for your material breach or fraud. Unpaid invoices and other excluded amounts do not earn commissions.
Complete broker signup, choose ACH, Zelle, or PayPal, and electronically sign the short agreement. Your saved application receives an ID and a client referral link. Your application remains pending review; payment setup and every payout require separate verification and manual approval. Never put banking numbers or tax IDs into the public form.
No. It records your broker ID with the client's launch inquiry and carries a signed reference into Stripe checkout if the client chooses to subscribe. Verified payment events link the customer, subscription, and invoices to the inquiry. PlatePrep separately coordinates account activation and confirms referral eligibility. Payment, confirmed attribution, and an approved commission remain separate steps.
We work with brokers who represent independent and mid-market restaurants — the sweet spot for PlatePrep. If your listings are chef-owned, family-run, or independent multi-unit, we're aligned. Corporate M&A brokers dealing with 20+ unit chains are usually a different fit.
Initial setup begins with the menu upload. Full rollout depends on the operator confirming recipes, portions, vendor data, and training needs. Our team agrees a realistic schedule with each restaurant; a ready-to-review setup is not the same as completed onboarding.
Contact us before closing to confirm the account handoff and attribution. Commission on an eligible, continuously paying account remains subject to your signed agreement. A change of owner is not automatically a new referral or a second signing bonus.
No. Buddy Foy Jr., Co-Founder, and our team schedule and conduct the demo and handle onboarding. You make both permission-based three-way introductions, help secure the initial demonstration, provide reasonable relationship follow-up if an interested owner becomes difficult to reach, and check in approximately 30–60 days after go-live.
Yes. Email and text are both required parts of the standard introduction process. Send a three-way email and a separate three-way group text connecting the same parties. A live telephone handoff is encouraged when practical; it does not replace either introduction.
No. Submitting a form, name or contact record alone does not automatically create an approved or commission-eligible referral. A complete broker introduction normally includes both a permission-based three-way email and a three-way group text. PlatePrep must separately confirm referral eligibility and attribution in writing.
You can introduce either side, but the same transferred account is not automatically two accounts. A separate new subscription must independently meet the agreement's Qualified Referral rules. Ask us to confirm eligibility and attribution in writing before assuming a second payment.
Request a discovery call with Buddy and our team. We'll review one listing, explain the partnership, and agree the next step. This form requests a conversation; it does not book an appointment or register a restaurant referral. Submitting a form, name or contact record alone does not automatically create an approved or commission-eligible referral. Existing partners must make both permission-based three-way introductions by email and group text.
Make both a three-way email introduction and a three-way text-message introduction with the owner's permission. When practical, also provide a live telephone handoff. Include your name, brokerage, and referral code if assigned. Attach a menu only with permission; please do not send private financial records.
Our team separately confirms receipt, eligibility, and referral attribution in writing. Copy both introduction templates or follow the Broker Quick Start. Need the paperwork? Review the broker agreement.
Start with one listing and one conversation. Our team will show you how documented recipes, costs, and training can support an organized handoff. Have a great service.
