Prime Cost Tracker
Prime cost — food cost plus labor cost — is the operating number that tells you if the business is tightening or leaking.
Prime Cost Tracker requires PlatePro
Monitor food cost and labor cost as a percentage of sales, compare shifts and weeks, and spot deviation before it becomes a monthly surprise.
PlatePro includes premium books, advanced tools, operator guides, and the full AI agent library for tighter restaurant execution.
A clean prime cost view tells you if pricing, staffing, and buying are moving in the right direction.
Most healthy concepts aim for prime cost in the 55% to 65% band, adjusted by model and channel mix.
Shift snapshots, weekly trend visibility, and a tighter discipline around your most important operating number.
