Two short videos, recorded in the real app. No computer experience needed – if you can tick a box and use a printer, you can use Platewell.
What it does, how simple it is, and what it saves your home.
The three daily jobs: print the menus, enter the choices, print everything for the kitchen.
See everything Platewell does – setting up, a day in the kitchen, costs, stock and orders, and the owner's view. Recorded in the real app, with voice-over and subtitles.

No need to change how your team works. Platewell fits round your home, not the other way round.
Print menu sheets for today or up to five days ahead – dishes a resident can't have are already greyed out. Residents mark an X, then the choices are tapped in. Coming soon: snap a photo and we'll read it for you.
Send staff a walk-round link. They pick each resident's meals room by room on a phone or tablet – no login, and dishes someone can't have are marked not suitable.
No computer in the kitchen? One click prints the kitchen sheet and every label – for today, or tomorrow if you print the night before.
Simple enough to learn from a short video. Clear enough for owners to see every cost at a glance.
Breakfast, lunch, pudding and tea, plus fruit and yoghurt – every choice recorded and ready for the kitchen.
Each resident's needs flagged on every choice, label and sheet – plus small, normal or large portions, and who's eating in their room.
Orders built from your menus and residents' choices, minus what's already in stock – so you only order the balance.
See the cost of every breakfast, lunch and tea, and each resident's total for the day – with an alert when you go over budget.
Cook to the number of choices, not guesswork – the kitchen sheet says exactly how many of each dish to make.
Print a count sheet of just what's on your menus, count in cases, packs or loose, snap a photo for your records, and see your stock value.
Everything between meals is included too, so your costs and orders show the whole day.
Meals made, food cost, deliveries and stock value for any day – plus anything that needs your attention.
Pause a resident with one tap and they come off menus, labels and orders until they're back.
Set one daily budget per resident, or split it across breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks.
Give your chef, nurses and manager their own login, and tick exactly which pages each person can see.
A one-week menu, or a cycle of up to seven weeks. Over 100 British classics ready to use, with allergens for you to check.
Prices from up to five suppliers for each ingredient, ranked cheapest first, with the date each price was checked.
Set your sittings, give a resident their own time, and see which rooms are empty at a glance.
Your kitchen can stay as it is. Every day is three jobs: print the menus, tap in the choices, and print the kitchen sheet and labels. The kitchen gets everything it needs on paper.
The real typing happens once, at the start. After that it's ticking and printing.
Add your residents and their diets, then build your menu from over 100 ready-made dishes. About ten minutes – or we'll do it all for you for a one-off £250.
Print the menu sheets and let residents mark an X, then tap the choices in – or take them on a tablet as you walk round.
Print labels, the kitchen sheet and orders. Costs and waste are tracked for you automatically.
We're building Platewell Food Safety next, so your kitchen's daily checks, records and food safety plan will live in the same place as your menus. Founding homes help shape it.
Fridges, freezers, cooking, cooling, hot holding and deliveries – logged on a phone or tablet in seconds.
Prompts when a check is due, and an alert to the manager if a reading is out of range.
Daily opening, closing and cleaning schedules, ticked off and signed by staff.
Keep your HACCP or food safety plan, training records and certificates stored and up to date.
Kitchen without a tablet? Print the day's check sheets from the office and enter the readings later.
