## What is Plated?

Plated is the recipe-costing and menu-engineering tool for independent kitchens. Build a recipe from your ingredient price book and instantly see what each plate truly costs — and what margin it earns — so you can price with confidence.

KNOW EVERY PLATE COST
• Build recipes from a reusable ingredient price book
• Accurate costing with unit conversion, yields, and sub-recipes
• Live plate cost, food-cost %, and contribution margin as you edit
• Set a target food-cost % and Plated suggests the menu price

ENGINEER YOUR MENU
• Import a sales report from your point-of-sale (CSV)
• See every dish plotted as a Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle, or Dog
• Get a clear, ranked action for each item — feature it, re-cost it, promote it, or cut it

REACT TO PRICE CHANGES
• A supplier raised prices? Simulate it and see the menu-wide margin impact in seconds
• Update many ingredient prices at once with a single percentage

SHARE PROFESSIONAL COST CARDS
• Export a branded, print-ready PDF cost card for any recipe — perfect for the kitchen wall, staff consistency, and lenders or investors

BUILT FOR INDEPENDENTS
• Restaurants, cafés, food trucks, caterers, and bakers
• Works fully offline — your recipes and price book stay on your device
• No account required

ONE PAYMENT, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
Cost up to five recipes free. Unlock unlimited recipes, menu engineering, what-if repricing, and PDF cost cards with a single one-time purchase. No monthly bill, ever.
