Two modules · one ecosystem

Sharper menu prices. Smarter food spend.

Built for restaurant operators fighting on both sides of the P&L.

alloplate pairs menu pricing optimization with food service supply chain intelligence — so the prices you set and the costs you absorb are both calibrated by data, not gut feel.

Module 01

Restaurant pricing optimization

ML-calibrated menu prices that reflect how diners actually perceive your brand and ingredients.

Module 02

Module 01 · Pricing

Your diners should dictate your prices.

Most pricing tools optimize against costs. alloplate optimizes against perceived value — benchmarking each menu item against similarly positioned brands and its own ingredient composition, so you stop leaving margin (or loyalty) on the table.

model calibration MAE on holdout menus
Dots above the dashed parity line are underpriced — diners perceive more value than you charge. Dots below are overpriced, eroding loyalty over time. Bubble size ≈ menu mix share.
Loyal diners are savvy diners
They know the value of what they order — your prices should too.
Ingredient-aware modeling
Every item is decomposed to its ingredients so model prices reflect real menu build.
Localized to consumer density
One national price isn't optimal anywhere — prices calibrate to each geographic market.
Margin insights without invoices
Spot which ingredients are quietly eroding margin without digging through vendor PDFs.
Module 02 · Supply chain

Know what's about to hit your food cost — before your distributor does.

We synthesize USDA feeds, FDA/USDA recall streams, commodity markets, and news wires into a single cost-pressure view for the ingredients on your menu. AI-scored 0 (quiet) → 100 (crisis), updated continuously.

Operator-weighted scoring

Impact scores weigh menu mix, not tonnage — so a 10% nutmeg move doesn't drown out a 2% beef move.

FDA / USDA recall sweep

Active recalls are matched against your watchlist so a brand hit on a supplier surfaces immediately.

Executive email digest

Weekly summary + top themes per ingredient category, ready to forward to your exec team.

AI-synthesized context

Every row carries a plain-English cause, duration estimate, and a recommended business decision.
