Built by hospitality people.

Why we built it

For the people who actually cost the menu.

Food cost is the biggest controllable cost in any kitchen, and most operators track it in a spreadsheet that breaks the moment a supplier raises a price, or they price by gut. We wanted a tool that keeps your true plate cost live: change one ingredient price and every recipe, sub-recipe and menu re-costs itself. No formulas to babysit, no broken cells.

Focus over feature-bloat.

We chose to do costing properly rather than become another enterprise suite that tries to do everything and does none of it well. Recipe and sub-recipe costing, supplier price history, wastage, the things that move your margin. We'd rather ship one trustworthy number than ten half-built dashboards.

Privacy and native craft matter to us.

Your costs and margins are nobody else's business. So there's no account, no sign-up, no tracking, we collect no data. Everything stays on your device and in your private iCloud, and it all works offline. And because it's a real Mac, iPhone and iPad app rather than a web page in a wrapper, it's fast, it feels right, and it respects the platform you already trust.

Plate Pro is made by Coffee Alchymists, a small team that cares about hospitality and about doing the work properly.
