The problem
Your biggest controllable cost lives in a broken spreadsheet.
Food cost runs 28-35% of revenue on margins of just 3-5%. Yet most kitchens track it in a spreadsheet that breaks the moment a supplier raises a price, or they price by gut. One stale number quietly eats your profit on every plate.

The cost cascade
Change one price. Every recipe re-costs itself.
Ingredients feed your recipes. Recipes feed your menus. When a supplier price changes, Plate Pro flows it through everything it touches, so your food cost % and gross profit are always live and accurate. The one job a spreadsheet never gets right.

Supplier price tracking
Catch price creep before it eats your margin.
Every supplier price keeps a dated history with the % change. A quiet increase shows up the moment it lands, not weeks later when the margin is already gone, and the new price flows straight through every recipe it touches.
