See PlatePrep in Motion
Two videos. Two minutes. Everything you need to see.
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.
Every buyer's biggest fear is inheriting a chaotic kitchen. PlatePrep organizes recipes, prep, orders, and inventory into one system — before you list — so buyers walk in confident and offers come in higher.

Every experienced restaurant buyer walks the back-of-house with the same questions. When the seller can't answer them, offers get discounted — or disappear entirely.
Every listing that adopts PlatePrep before it goes to market gets a competitive advantage buyers can see and feel.
Documented systems and transferable IP command premium valuations. Buyers pay more for less risk. A restaurant with a functioning Recipe Vault and Kitchen OS sells for measurably more than a comp with none of it.
The number-one cause of stalled restaurant deals is due-diligence anxiety. When every kitchen system is already documented in one platform, DD moves from weeks to days.
Buyers walk from deals when the seller can't answer basic operational questions. PlatePrep hands the buyer a running system on day one. No renegotiation, no last-minute retrades.
Instead of a chef's notebook and a Word doc, the buyer inherits a live, running platform.
This is what your buyer opens on day one of ownership.
Every recipe structured with ingredients, portions, and photos. Chef AI generates up to 10 new recipes a month. The chef's IP, transferable and documented.
Live cost per plate on every recipe. Invoice-driven — when supplier prices move, PlateCost moves with them. Real-time margin visibility.
Daily prep assignments with completion tracking. Historical data showing what the kitchen actually does day-to-day.
Every vendor relationship mapped and one-click reorderable. Buyer inherits the supply chain — not just the phone numbers.
Team messaging history. Shift notes. The rhythm of the kitchen, documented and transferable.
Up to 5 new training videos a week. Buyer inherits a system for standardizing prep and onboarding new line cooks day one.
Refer any sell-side listing you're working. If they sign PlatePrep, you earn — on the sign and every month they stay.
Per listing that signs and pays first invoice.
Of monthly fee, every month the account stays active.
The bigger win is the deal itself. A listing that closes faster and higher pays your standard broker commission on top — plus the PlatePrep annuity for years after.
Any restaurant you're representing where the buyer would benefit from an organized back-of-house. Mid-market independents, chef-driven concepts, family-owned rooms — the sweet spot.
A short intro email or text is all it takes. We handle the pitch, the demo, and the onboarding. You stay in the loop but you don't have to sell anything.
Menu Analyzer loads Recipe IP; PlateCost, Prep Management, and Order Guide wire on top. Thirty days from upload to fully operational. When you list the restaurant, buyers see a running system, not a black box.
Your broker commission on the sale. Plus $250 from PlatePrep for the signup. Plus 20% of the monthly fee every month the new owner stays a customer.
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.
Thirty days from upload to fully operational. Ideally we start when you first sign the listing agreement — by the time you go to market, the back-of-house is already documented.
Founder's 50 pricing is $299/mo locked for life for the first fifty operators nationwide. If the seller signs before we hit fifty, the new buyer inherits that lifetime rate — which is itself a selling point. And the sale-price uplift from organized systems typically covers years of subscription cost.
The account transfers to the buyer at close. You keep earning the 20% recurring for as long as the new owner stays a customer. That's typically years, not months.
No. Buddy Foy Jr. (Co-Founder, 30-year restaurateur) runs every demo personally. Your job is the intro — we handle everything else.
Yes. Refer the seller before listing (PlatePrep organizes their kitchen). Refer the buyer after close (PlatePrep runs their new acquisition). Two accounts, two commissions.
A 20-minute Zoom with Buddy. He'll show you exactly what your listings look like inside PlatePrep, walk you through your first referral, and we're off. No paperwork day one — we formalize after the first check clears.
PlatePrep turns the black-box back-of-house into a running, documented system before the listing goes up. Buyers walk in confident. Offers come in higher. Deals close faster. You get paid on every sign.
