You can't watch every location at once — so we do it for you.
Pink Plate connects to the tools you already run and watches every location around the clock, sending the right person a plain-language alert the moment a number starts to drift — while there's still time to fix it.
Built for groups running 5 to 500 locations

The platform
Everything it takes to protect your margins.
No analysts to hire, no dashboards to babysit. Pink Plate watches every order, shift, and invoice across your locations, and flags what's costing you, in real time.
You don't ask Pink Plate questions or pull reports. It scans every order, shift, and invoice as it happens and surfaces the ones costing you money. Automatically, around the clock.
When food cost creeps up, labor runs over, or voids spike, the manager who can fix it gets a text or email, with the reason attached, so it's handled on the spot, not at month-end.
Sales, labor, and food cost measured the same way at every site, so you can compare locations at a glance and catch the one that's slipping before it spreads.
Qu, R365, Harri, and more. Your POS, accounting, and scheduling sync in minutes, with nothing to maintain. Your data stays yours, always.
What it catches
The leaks that quietly drain your margins.
Pink Plate watches the handful of numbers that actually move your P&L, and tells you the moment one drifts — in plain language, to the person who can fix it.
Food cost
↗ 2.3 ptsPortions & waste over spec
Plates running heavy, prep over-producing, or yields slipping — flagged by item and shift, not buried in a monthly average.
Labor
↗ 6%Shifts running over forecast
Overtime creeping in, extra openers, or labor outrunning sales on a slow day — surfaced while you can still send someone home.
Voids & comps
3× normalRefunds and discounts spiking
Unusual voids, comps, and discounts by employee and location, so abuse and honest mistakes both get caught early.
Vendor pricing
unit costInvoice prices creeping up
When a supplier quietly raises a unit price or short-ships an order, you hear about it at delivery, not at reconciliation.
Menu mix
marginLow-margin items overselling
Shifts in what's selling that quietly erode your margin, with the few items actually moving the number called out.
Cash variance
drawerRegister & deposit gaps
Drawer counts, deposits, and expected cash that don't line up, matched across days and locations automatically.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How does Pink Plate know what's normal?
It learns each location's own patterns — your menu, margins, labor, and seasonality — so it can tell a real problem from a busy Friday night. The longer it runs, the sharper it gets.
Do I have to change my POS or tools?
No. Pink Plate works on top of the stack you already run — Qu, R365, Harri, Toast, QuickBooks, and more. Nothing to rip out or replace.
How is this different from my dashboard or BI tool?
Dashboards wait for you to come looking. Pink Plate watches continuously and comes to you, sending the specific person who can fix a problem a plain-language alert the moment something drifts.
Is my data secure?
Your data stays yours, always. It's encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold or shared, and you can revoke access at any time.
What does it cost?
Pricing scales with the number of locations you connect. Reach out and we'll put together a quote for your group.
