How is Plate different from a delivery marketplace?

Plate runs ordering on your own branded page and routes orders straight to your kitchen display. You keep the guest relationship. The Plate platform fee starts at 5%, drops to 3.75% after $2.5M in combined lifetime revenue processed through Plate, and drops to 2.5% after $10M. Every business under the same owner contributes to the same lifetime total, and the lower rate applies to future revenue processed through Plate across the owner group.

Does Plate handle pickup, order-ahead, and dine-in?

Yes. Plate supports pickup, order-ahead, and dine-in QR ordering from the same menu, all landing in the same kitchen queue.

Do I need special hardware for the kitchen?

No proprietary Plate terminal is required. The kitchen display and public ready board are browser-based and run on supported tablets and screens.

Guests order anywhere. Tickets go straight to the kitchen.

Let guests order from your branded page, table QR, counter, or kiosk. Plate routes each item to the right station, keeps expo on the full ticket, and updates guests through pickup.

What Plate changes in daily service.

Send online orders directly to the kitchen

Capturing an online order is only the first step. The order also needs to reach the right kitchen stations without being re-entered or manually sorted.

Plate connects the ordering page to a multi-station kitchen display. Each item routes to its assigned station when the order is placed, while expo keeps the full ticket visible.

Web, QR, and kiosk in one queue
Station-level order routing
Live 86ing across every channel

Manage one menu across every Plate ordering channel

When menu data and availability live in separate systems, guests can order items the kitchen no longer has. Updating availability at the source prevents that mismatch.

Plate keeps pricing, modifiers, photos, and availability consistent across QR tables, web ordering, and kiosks without duplicate entry.

Keep guest and order history with your business

Marketplace checkout can limit access to guest contact information and control over the ordering experience.

Plate puts ordering on your own domain and keeps guest contact and order history with your business for repeat ordering, promotions, and loyalty programs.

Your site, hosting, and full workflow are included.

The platform fee starts at 5% and covers ordering, kitchen, expo, guest updates, and reporting without separate Plate setup, hosting, or monthly software charges.

One owner-wide lifetime rate

Revenue processed through Plate is combined across every business under the same owner.

5%From the first Plate order
3.75%After $2.5M in lifetime Plate revenue

When the combined lifetime total reaches a threshold, the lower rate applies to future revenue processed through Plate across the owner group. Your branded ordering site, Plate hosting, setup, kitchen and expo workflow, guest updates, and reporting are included in one platform fee.
