THE BREAKTHROUGH
Day one live. Two inputs. We do the rest.
Other systems give you tools. PlatePrep just runs.
01
Scan the menu
AI extracts every dish and builds your recipe cards. You confirm portion sizes — that's the only manual step.
02
Upload starting inventory
One-time count. The system locks your opening position. Manual inventory work ends here forever.
03
Upload sales reports
Every sale decrements inventory automatically. Food cost recalculates in real time. Yield % adjusts to industry standards.
04
Upload vendor invoices
Pricing updates the moment your invoice posts. No stale cost data. Your margin moves with the market.
05
AI orders for you
Inventory drops below par — the order goes out. Distributor, quantity, timing — all automated.
06
Dynamic pricing recommendation
Set your target margin. AI tells you exactly where to price each menu item based on cost shifts and selling velocity.
SEE STEP 6 IN ACTION
Set your margin. We price the menu.
Not every dish runs at 30%. Some at 12%, some at 45%. The blend hits your target.

WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
No one else has this loop closed.
R365 and Toast give you tools. Adaco gives you inventory. They all require humans to enter data, set par levels, update prices, run reports. PlatePrep just does it. That's the moat.
