Restaurant Intelligence

Run your numbers.
Not your patience.

PlateOS is the AI operating system for independent restaurants. It handles food costing, inventory, and menu engineering autonomously, so you can stay on the line where you belong.

The Reality

Every night, chefs close the kitchen and open a spreadsheet. Costing recipes by hand. Counting inventory on clipboards. Guessing which dishes actually make money.

28-35%
Average food cost ratio, often tracked manually or not at all
$10K
Monthly food waste at a typical independent restaurant
6 hrs
Weekly time spent on inventory and ordering admin

AI that thinks like a chef,
counts like a controller.

Four capabilities that replace the spreadsheets, the guessing, and the 2am number-crunching.

$

Live Food Costing

Every recipe priced in real-time against current supplier costs. Know your margins before the plate hits the pass, not after month-end.

#

Smart Inventory

AI tracks usage patterns, predicts what you'll need, and flags waste before it happens. No more clipboard counts at midnight.

%

Menu Engineering

See which dishes are stars and which are dead weight. Data-driven menu decisions based on actual profitability, not gut feeling.

Supplier Autopilot

Automated ordering based on predicted demand. Price comparisons across vendors. The right product at the right price, every delivery.

AI learns your rhythm

It studies your sales patterns, seasonal trends, and waste hotspots to build a model of your kitchen.

Built by people who've worked the line.

PlateOS exists because restaurants deserve an operating system that works as hard as they do. The kitchen is an art. The numbers shouldn't hold it back.
