For Distributors
White-label food cost intelligence to reduce churn and grow share-of-wallet
PlateCost offers a white-label platform that food distributors can offer to their restaurant customers — turning every invoice into a retention opportunity.
The challenge
Distributor sales teams fight a constant battle against churn. Restaurants switch vendors for a few cents per pound on chicken breast, and you often don't know until the orders stop coming in.
How PlateCost helps
PlateCost gives your customers a reason to stay — and a reason to buy more from you.
Give customers cost intelligence they can't get anywhere else. Restaurants that use PlateCost through their distributor are stickier.
When restaurants see competitor pricing, your sales team can proactively match or beat — before the customer leaves.
PlateCost runs under your brand. Your logo, your colors, your domain. Customers see it as your platform.
Know which accounts are at risk based on order patterns and pricing sensitivity.
How it works
For your customers
Restaurants upload invoices from all their vendors (including yours and competitors). PlateCost gives them a unified view of their food costs, trends, and opportunities.
For your sales team
Your reps get a dashboard showing:
- Account health — which customers are actively engaged
- Competitive pricing data — what customers are paying competitors for the same items
- Upsell opportunities — categories where you have competitive pricing but low share
- Churn risk signals — declining order volume or increasing competitor share
For your organization
- Differentiated value proposition — offer something your competitors don't
- Data-driven sales conversations — arm reps with pricing intelligence
- Customer success at scale — automate the cost analysis that used to require manual work
White-label deployment
PlateCost deploys under your brand with:
- Your company logo and colors
- Your custom domain (e.g.,
costs.yourdistributor.com) - Your support contact information
- Co-branded communications to your customers
White-label setup is handled during onboarding. We work with your team to match your brand guidelines exactly.
