03

See True Costs

Instantly see food cost per plate, margins, and exactly where to adjust prices to hit your profitability targets.

Marcus T.

Owner, Harvest Kitchen

Invoice parsing is incredible — what used to take 3 hours weekly now takes 10 minutes. It even reads my handwritten farmer's market receipts.

S

Sarah K.

Chef-Owner, Provisions

The AI price recommendations alone paid for a year of PlateIQ. We raised 4 dishes and nobody batted an eye.
