PlateSense is restaurant inventory and recipe costing software that starts at the delivery door. Photograph an invoice or forward the PDF, and every line item is extracted, matched to the inventory you carry, converted from the case you bought into the ounces you cook with, and pushed through to the cost of every recipe and menu item that uses it. What follows is each step of that chain.
