WHY PLATEPREP

Your kitchen shouldn’t need you for every answer.

Give your team the recipes, prep instructions and training they need in one place, so you can spend less time repeating yourself and more time building your business and enjoying your life.

You built a restaurant.
Build a life, too.

THE WORK THAT FOLLOWS YOU HOME

Sound familiar?

You care about every plate and every shift. But caring shouldn’t mean carrying every answer yourself.

  • You finally leave the restaurant, and your phone starts ringing.
  • Your recipes live in binders, text messages and someone’s memory.
  • Every new employee needs the same explanations.
  • Portions and prep change depending on who is working.
  • You struggle to see where food costs are slipping.
  • Too many daily decisions still depend on you.

Your team needs a clear way to get the answers and instructions they need. PlatePrep helps put that knowledge into their hands.

WHAT CHANGES

A clearer way to work.
Less dependence on you.

Connect the information behind the work. Give your team a consistent reference, and give yourself a clearer view of what needs attention.

01 / RECIPES

Your standards, not someone’s memory.

When recipes are scattered, details get lost between shifts. Keep ingredients, portions and preparation methods in PlatePrep so your team can refer to the same instructions.

Less searching. Fewer repeated explanations.

02 / PREP

Make the next task clear.

A verbal instruction can be missed in a busy kitchen. Use prep lists, assignments and task tracking to make the daily work visible, then have the team update progress as they go.

A shared plan instead of another round of questions.

03 / TRAINING

Guidance that stays after the explanation.

A new employee shouldn’t have to remember everything from one conversation. Put recipe instructions and training videos where employees can revisit them while learning your standards.

A reference to reinforce what you teach.

04 / COMMUNICATION

Keep the instruction close to the work.

Important details can disappear in a long text thread. Use team messaging and shift notes to share operational information in PlatePrep, alongside the work your team is doing.

Less chasing down the latest answer.

05 / ORDERING & INVENTORY

Bring the lists into the same conversation.

Build an order guide from your menu, review items and quantities, and use inventory records to check stock and par levels. Your team still verifies counts, matches items and reviews orders before sending.

More informed purchasing, with people in control.

06 / FOOD-COST VISIBILITY

Know what goes into the plate.

Review ingredient quantities, recipe costs and selling prices together. Keep the inputs current as costs change, then decide whether the recipe, portion, supplier or menu price needs attention.

Clearer cost decisions, not a promise of automatic profit.

Where AI helps

AI supports menu analysis, recipe drafts and repetitive setup work. Your team checks the details and makes the operating decisions. Available modules depend on your plan and setup.

SEE THE WORK, NOT JUST THE PROMISE

A SHARED REFERENCE

Keep the details with the dish.

HOW IT WORKS

Start with your menu.
Build around your operation.

You don’t have to pretend your restaurant runs like everyone else’s. The starting point is the work you already do.

  1. 01

    Bring your menu and your questions.

    Share your current menu and explain how you handle recipes, prep and training. We’ll discuss the workflows you want to improve and confirm the modules that fit.

  2. 02

    Review the setup together.

    Use menu analysis to start organizing your dishes, then confirm ingredients, portions and preparation details. For inventory and costing workflows, prepare opening counts, vendor invoices and relevant sales reports. Setup scope is confirmed with our team.

  3. 03

    Put the shared reference to work.

    Our team coordinates onboarding and account activation. Your team starts using the included recipe, prep and training tools, keeps information current, and raises questions as it learns the workflow.

PlatePrep is in controlled, invitation-only release. Setup and activation are coordinated with our team, not promised instantly.

BUILT FROM RESTAURANT LIFE

Built by an operator who knows what follows you home.

Buddy Foy Jr. is a chef, multi-unit restaurant owner and former technology entrepreneur. PlatePrep grew out of problems experienced in his own restaurants: knowledge that depended on one person, repeated explanations and work that didn’t end when service did.

Buddy and the PlatePrep team are building a clearer way to organize that work. The aim is simple: give teams more direction, and give owners more room to build a business and a life.

A PRACTICAL FIRST CONVERSATION

Let’s look at what keeps pulling you back into the restaurant.

Tell us how your restaurant works today. We’ll discuss your current process, identify operational bottlenecks and demonstrate the relevant PlatePrep capabilities.

No promised savings. No need to arrive with everything organized. Start with your menu and the questions you keep answering.

BEFORE WE TALK

A few practical questions.

We’ll confirm the fit for your restaurant before you commit.

How much work is involved in getting started?

Start with your menu and existing recipe information. You’ll need to verify recipe details and provide the inputs required for the modules you choose, such as inventory counts or invoices. Our team coordinates onboarding and activation; the time involved depends on your data and scope.

How does my team learn to use it?

Onboarding and support are included in the published product offering. Recipe instructions and training videos give employees guidance they can revisit. We’ll confirm the onboarding approach and the training tools included in your plan during the demo.

Can it work alongside my current POS?

PlatePrep is intended to complement your existing operation. We’ll review your POS and the sales reports it provides before confirming the data workflow. A direct POS integration is not assumed or promised for every system.

What languages does it support?

PlatePrep’s training offering supports 26 languages. Tell us which languages your team uses so we can confirm the relevant training and translation options for your setup during the demonstration.

What does it cost?

The current standard PlatePrep Core checkout is $499 USD per month for one restaurant, billed monthly until canceled. Confirm included modules, users and any additional-location requirements with our team before subscribing. See the current billing terms.

What support is available?

Onboarding and support from the PlatePrep team are part of the published offering. Priority support and dedicated account management depend on the plan. We’ll confirm the support arrangements for your restaurant before you start.

LESS REPEATING YOURSELF. MORE ROOM TO LIVE.
