One connected back of house
You didn’t open a restaurant to spend your life chasing invoices, rewriting prep lists and answering the same questions.
PlatePrep AI brings the work behind every plate into one portal, so you can spend less time holding everything together and more time building a business that gives something back.
Built by restaurant operators. For the life beyond the restaurant.
You deserve more than “busy”
You can love this business and still want dinner with your family. A vacation you actually take. Enough money left over to pay yourself, replace the car or stop worrying about the next vendor bill.
That takes more than working harder. It takes knowing what every dish costs, giving your team a clear way to execute, and catching the small leaks before they become your month’s profit.
The one-stop-shop portal
When recipes live in a binder, costs in a spreadsheet and shift instructions in a text thread, you become the missing connection. PlatePrep brings those workflows together.
The scattered back of house
Different versions. Repeated work.
And you, making sense of it all.
For your included PlatePrep modules. Your POS, payroll, accounting and vendor services may remain separate. We’ll map the tools you can consolidate and the connections you still need.
Everything behind every plate
Less hunting for information. Less retyping the same details. A clearer path from what you promise on the menu to what your team delivers.
Capture ingredients, portions, methods and plating standards in one recipe library. Keep your kitchen’s intellectual property in the business, not just in one person’s head.
Your standards can stay when you step away.
Put recipe instructions, training and station expectations where your team can find them. Support learning across languages instead of relying on whoever happens to be available to explain.
Fewer repeated explanations. More consistent execution.
Connect prep lists, task assignments, shift notes and team communication. Make it clear what needs doing, who owns it and what is still unfinished.
Less “Did anyone do this?” More accountability.
Explore the staffing & employee-workstation previewStart with your menu to build an intelligent order guide. Bring purchasing and inventory into the same workflow, so what you buy connects to what you make and what you have.
Fewer disconnected lists. More intentional purchasing.
Bring invoice costs into the same picture as ingredients and recipes. Review changes while the delivery is still fresh in your mind, not when you finally find time for the paperwork.
See the pressure on your margin while you can act.
Connect recipe cost, selling price, sales mix and menu design. Find the dishes worth promoting, the prices worth reviewing and the presentation that deserves more attention.
A menu built to sell thoughtfully, not just look good.
Available modules and integrations depend on your plan and setup. Interactive demos may include preview workflows; your walkthrough will confirm what is live for your operation.
Catch the change. Protect the plate.
A case costs more. Your menu price stays the same. Every plate quietly earns less, even while the dining room is full.
Upload the delivery invoice, match the items and review the cost changes in PlatePrep. Connect the new ingredient price to the recipes it affects, then decide whether to adjust the price, portion, supplier or menu mix.
Aim for answers in minutes at receiving.
Not a surprise weeks later.
Visibility starts when the invoice is uploaded and processed, not simply when the truck arrives. Timing depends on invoice quality, item matching, approvals and your configured workflow.
Illustrative cost change · not live account data
Calculation: ($112 − $100) ÷ 40 × monthly plates. Assumes unchanged portions, yield and sales volume. This is an example of cost exposure, not guaranteed savings or a net-profit forecast.
A practical path forward
No. Start with the menu, recipes and the workflows that create the most repeated work. We’ll map your current tools, confirm which PlatePrep modules fit, and build a practical transition around your operation.
It means one PlatePrep subscription for your included modules. Your POS, payroll, accounting, payment processing and other third-party services can remain separate, with their own charges. We won’t tell you to cancel a tool until we confirm how its job will be covered.
AI helps connect information, reduce repetitive work and surface decisions. Your team still receives deliveries, verifies recipes and counts, reviews exceptions and approves important operating choices. The goal is less admin, not less accountability.
No software can guarantee your bank balance or a vacation. The goal is to reduce repetitive work, keep costs visible and help you make better decisions. Results depend on the quality of your data, your operation and how your team uses the system.
Built by operators who understand
Let’s look at your menu and the work behind it. We’ll show you where PlatePrep can bring things together, what it can replace and what still needs to stay.
No pressure. A practical conversation with a fellow operator.
