A presentation for restaurant brokers
The Broker's Advantage.
Make kitchen know-how a business asset. Help owners document what makes their restaurant work, so buyers have more to evaluate than a menu and a handshake.

Use Next, the arrow keys, or Space to explore. This presentation is not a valuation or a guarantee of sale outcomes.
The buyer's question
“What happens when the chef leaves?”
Recipes, portions, prep routines, and vendor knowledge can be hard to hand over when they live in someone's head. Bring that knowledge into a documented operating system.
Clarity
Show how dishes are made and what the team needs to reproduce them.
Evidence
Make operating records available for review alongside the seller's other diligence materials.
Continuity
Give the incoming team a foundation for a planned handoff.
Better documentation can support a buyer's evaluation. It does not guarantee a higher valuation, a faster close, or fewer renegotiations.
From knowledge to repeatable operations
More than a menu.
A system worth handing over.
Your Recipes. Your Intellectual Property.
Document recipes, portions, and methods so valuable know-how is easier to manage and share with authorized teams.
Explode Your Margin
Food cost intelligence helps the operator understand plate costs and identify opportunities to protect margin.
One Menu. Intelligent Ordering.
Start an AI-built order guide with one menu upload. Validate ingredients, quantities, and vendor details before use.
Creative Mastery with AI Chef
Explore recipe ideas and variations. The chef reviews ingredients, methods, allergens, and costs before service.
86 Bad Reviews
AI-powered training helps teams learn your standards and deliver more consistent service. Review outcomes are not guaranteed.
Menu Design That Sells
Turn menu content into a clearer, more compelling guest-facing presentation.
Upload does not establish legal ownership or transfer recipe rights. Confirm permissions and address any transfer in the restaurant sale documents. Confirm current plan scope and limits with our team.

From upload to daily use
One menu starts it.
Your team makes it real.
Upload
Share the current menu with the owner's permission. Use it to start a structured operating record, not as a substitute for the chef's recipes.
Validate
The operator confirms ingredients, portions, prices, allergens, and vendor details before relying on the output.
Roll out
Agree the rollout schedule with our team, train staff, and prepare any buyer access or ownership transition.
Timing depends on data quality, operator participation, selected features, and integrations. A menu upload is a starting point, not a guarantee of a fully operational kitchen on day one.
The broker partnership
Your relationship.
An additional revenue stream.
$250 per Qualified Referral after the first invoice clears, plus 20% recurring on eligible subscription fees actually collected, subject to your signed agreement.
| Signing bonus for one Qualified Referral | $250.00 |
| 20% × $499 × 24 paid months | $2,395.20 |
| Illustrative total over 24 paid months | $2,645.20 |
Illustration assumes one eligible account at the standard $499 monthly subscription, 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.
A change of ownership is not automatically a second Qualified Referral or bonus. Confirm account continuity, eligibility, permissions, and billing with PlatePrep before the handoff. Any separate broker sale commission is outside this program.
A clear next step
Start with fit.
Then make both introductions.
Discover and agree
Review the broker agreement. Sign, download, and email the PDF to chef@plateprep.com for review and countersignature. Obtain the owner's permission for both introductions.
Email and text
The broker makes both a three-way email introduction and a three-way text-message introduction. A live telephone handoff is encouraged when practical.
Confirm and demonstrate
PlatePrep confirms receipt and attribution in writing and separately confirms eligibility. Our team schedules and conducts the demonstration; you help everyone connect.
Stay connected
If an interested owner becomes difficult to reach, provide reasonable relationship follow-up when requested. Check in 30–60 days after go-live and send feedback to PlatePrep.
Submitting a form, name or contact record alone does not automatically create an approved or commission-eligible referral. Compensation remains subject to the signed agreement and a qualified, paying account.
