Overall Satisfaction with Plate IQ

We use Plate IQ to automate the coding for all of our invoices for 5 restaurant locations. This technology was helpful in reducing the amount of time our operations leaders had to spend coding invoices on a weekly basis. Overall, I would guess our GM's and Chef's would save 1 hour per week by using Plate IQ.
  • Coding and processing invoices.
  • Identifying price increases and alerting us about them.
  • Bill pay
  • Provide better analytics in terms of cost increases per item.
  • Provide the ability to create recipes and forward price increases to those recipes for accurate food cost projections.
  • Free Bill Pay
  • In my opinion, it has had zero impact on ROI now that we are paying for an additional year.
  • Another negative is that we've spent a lot of time discussing this issue with Plate IQ, to no avail. They feel it's appropriate to charge a company for an entire year of service even though said company emailed to cancel prior to the end of the first year of service.
  • We also wasted a lot of time onboarding this company only to find out that the software left a lot to be desired.
  • BILL
We like the automated coding that Plate IQ provides vs. bill.com. It also helped that all of our locations could be viewed on the same dashboard. When you have five separate business all being managed by the same team, it's important to have dashboard functionality across all locations so you don't have to login and out for each business.

Did Plate IQ live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Plate IQ go as expected?

No

Would you buy Plate IQ again?

No

In my opinion, this software is not well suited for anyone looking to cancel their subscription. After 11 months of using the software, we provided notice to Plate IQ that we were moving on. Since it was only two weeks before our "Automatic Contract Renewal", Plate IQ indicated that we are contractually obligate to pay for ANOTHER ENTIRE YEAR OF SERVICE. So, here we are paying for Plate IQ for another year and REGRETTING OUR DECISION TO HAVE EVER GONE INTO BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY LIKE THIS! The software is well suited to take the administrative tasks of coding invoices of the GM's and Chef's plates, as well as accounting staff.
