Overview
Plate101 is an AI operating system built for restaurants that automates the operational tasks restaurant managers spend hours on manually. It generates optimized floor plans and server sections, forecasts accurate staffing needs, produces prep lists, predicts inventory shortages before they happen, creates manager shift notes, and builds complete schedules—all in seconds. Restaurant owners and operations directors at independent and multi-unit establishments (1–5+ locations) get 10+ hours back per week previously lost to spreadsheets and guesswork.
