About Plate Pro

We built Plate Pro to solve a specific problem: recipe costing in professional kitchens is still largely done in spreadsheets. One misplaced formula or outdated price can quietly throw off margins across an entire menu. We set out to build dedicated software that makes accurate recipe costing straightforward and reliable.

Plate Pro is focused recipe costing software, purpose-built for professional kitchens. It tracks ingredient costs, calculates recipe costs in real time, and automatically updates when prices change. Every feature is designed around the way kitchens actually work.

Our design philosophy centres on simplicity, accuracy, and privacy. The interface stays out of your way so you can focus on your numbers. There are no demo calls or sales processes — download the app, start for free, and see if it works for your operation.

Plate Pro is built for chefs, kitchen managers, restaurant owners, caterers, and food truck operators — anyone responsible for understanding and managing food costs. Whether you operate a single cafe or manage multiple venues, the need is the same: clear, accurate numbers to inform your menu and pricing decisions.

The app is built natively for iOS and macOS, delivering the performance and reliability of a platform-native application. Data syncs seamlessly between devices through iCloud. No account is required, and no data passes through our servers — your recipes and costs remain on your devices and in your personal iCloud account.

Plate Pro is built by a small, independent team based in Australia. We are self-funded and focused entirely on making the best recipe costing tool available for professional kitchens.
