One platform. True food cost intelligence from ingredient to plate — including waste visibility, profitability analysis, and pricing recommendations built for Canadian kitchens.
Every feature below is included in PlateIT at launch. One plan, per location, per month — with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required.
Add your ingredients with unit of measure, purchase cost, and yield percentage. PlateIT calculates the true usable cost automatically — so every recipe is built on accurate numbers, not estimates.
Build sub-recipes with batch outputs — sauces, pastries, stocks, and more. PlateIT calculates the cost per portion from any batch size, so menu items always reflect accurate prep costs.
Build menu items from prep recipes and direct ingredients. See your actual food cost %, gross food profit, and recommended selling price side by side — based on your target food cost percentage.
Optionally add an estimated labour cost per menu item. PlateIT folds it into the true dish cost so you see the full picture — not just the ingredient cost.
Yield waste is calculated automatically from every ingredient. Accidental waste — a dropped bun, a plating error — can be logged by any staff member at the component level. Daily, weekly, and monthly waste reports included.
A real-time overview of your menu performance — highest and lowest margin dishes, items below your food cost target, gross food profit, and a food waste pie chart.
Upload your existing ingredient and recipe data from Excel or CSV. Use our pre-labelled template or your own spreadsheet — PlateIT detects your column structure and imports it cleanly.
One login for your whole operation. Each restaurant or location manages its own data, team, and billing independently — with an organisation-level overview for groups with multiple sites.
PlateIT is built to grow with your kitchen. These features are actively in development and will be released as the platform evolves.
Schedule shifts, track actual hours worked against scheduled, and see real labour cost as a percentage of your revenue — per shift, per week, per month.
Build daily task lists for your kitchen team. Assign tasks to individual staff, track completion in real time, and get alerts when tasks are carried over or left incomplete.
Surface performance trends, demand patterns, and cost variance explanations — telling you not just what changed, but why your margins shifted.
Photograph a supplier receipt or invoice. PlateIT extracts ingredients, quantities, and prices automatically. Price changes are detected and recipe costs update instantly.
Analyse your real cost data, pricing history, and performance trends to suggest menu adjustments, flag underperforming dishes, and recommend seasonal ingredient swaps.
PlateIT on iOS and Android. Log waste from the prep station, check tasks on the line, and access your kitchen data from anywhere. Login-only — no in-app purchases, ever.
Track stock levels, set low-stock alerts, and manage your supplier relationships — all connected to your ingredient costs.
Connect your point-of-sale system to PlateIT and close the loop between front-of-house sales and back-of-house costs. Real sales data feeds directly into your food cost calculations.
