PlateCost gives restaurant operators real-time cost intelligence across food and beverage — recipes, margins, and pricing in one place, with no spreadsheets required.
Food and beverage costs shift weekly. Without a system to catch it, your margins erode quietly — one invoice, one price hike, one untracked pour at a time.
Your supplier raises beef prices 12% and your menu price stays the same for months — because nobody’s watching it in real time.
Silent margin lossBy the time someone updates the costing sheet, three more invoices have come in. The "current" food cost is already wrong.
Always behindPour cost rarely gets the same attention as food cost — even though over-pouring and shrink quietly eat into bar margins every shift.
Untracked pour costPlateCost watches your margins so you don\u2019t have to chase them after the fact.
