AI-powered menu costing that updates automatically when ingredient prices change. Stop guessing which dishes make money -- know it for certain.
Free early access. No credit card required.
Ingredient prices change every week. Your spreadsheet doesn't. The result: menus priced on stale data and invisible margin erosion.
Eggs spike 40%, avocado doubles, chicken fluctuates $1/lb monthly -- but nobody updates the spreadsheet. Your "food cost" numbers are months old.
Without current costs, profitable dishes silently become money-losers. You won't know until the end-of-month P&L -- if you check at all.
Updating ingredient prices from supplier invoices into your spreadsheet is tedious, error-prone work. So it just doesn't get done.
PlateProfit replaces your recipe costing spreadsheet with a live dashboard. Enter your recipes once, then paste or upload supplier invoices -- AI extracts the prices and updates every cost automatically.
Built specifically for independent restaurants, food trucks, bakeries, and caterers.
Input ingredients with quantities, units, and portions per batch. Sub-recipes supported for sauces, doughs, and prep items.
Paste or upload supplier invoices from Sysco, US Foods, or local distributors. AI extracts prices and maps them to your recipes automatically.
Real-time food cost percentage, profit per plate, and margin status for every menu item. Color-coded so you see problems instantly.
Get notified when ingredient price changes push any menu item below your target margin threshold. No more surprises.
Set your target food cost percentage and get suggested retail prices for every item based on current costs. Price with confidence.

Supplier invoices come in every format imaginable. Our AI reads them all -- no templates, no setup, no manual data entry.

Gemini AI identifies item names, pack sizes, quantities, unit prices, and totals. No templates or rules to configure.
Fuzzy matching maps supplier names to your recipes. "Jumbo Eggs 15dz" automatically matches to your "eggs" ingredient at the correct per-unit price.

A tool that prevents just 1% of food cost waste on $500K revenue saves you $5,000/year. PlateProfit pays for itself in the first week.
Simply paste the text from a supplier invoice or upload a CSV file. Our AI (powered by Google Gemini) reads the invoice, extracts ingredient names, quantities, and prices, then automatically matches them to your recipes. It works with invoices from any supplier -- no special format needed.
We're building a bulk import feature so you can paste your existing recipe data directly into PlateProfit. During early access, our team will help you migrate your recipes manually at no charge.
Our AI uses fuzzy matching to connect supplier item names to your recipe ingredients, even when naming conventions differ (e.g., "Jumbo Eggs 15dz" maps to "eggs"). You can review and correct any matches, and the system learns from your corrections over time.
