Plated is the job command center built for how Aurora Green Chefs actually works — planning, packing, loading, setup, live service, breakdown, and returns. Nothing forgotten. Nothing improvised.
Every event has a hundred details. Plated files them into the right sections so your team walks into every job knowing exactly what to do — and what not to leave behind.
Client, venue, dietary needs, guest count, timeline, parking, power, flame rules, weather — all structured, searchable, and shared with your team.
Smart checklists auto-generate for every phase — plan, prep, pack, load, setup, serve, break down, return — with quantity math baked in.
Departure guardrails block leaving base until mandatory pack items are verified. Live-service reminders keep temperature and refills on time.
Paste a client email or upload a brief — Plated extracts guest count, menu, dietary tags, staff mentions, and files them into the right sections instantly.
Owned vs. rented, condition, storage location, low-stock alerts. Post-event returns tracked with damaged/missing logging.
Mobile-first, offline-tolerant, large touch targets, big legible numerics. Built for field crews with sauce on their gloves.
Plated guides your team through the entire event lifecycle. Each phase has its own checklist, alerts, and accountability layer.
Confirm headcount, menu, dietary, venue details and special requests with the client.
Kitchen prep tasks — proteins, sauces, garnishes — sequenced against the event timeline.
Smart checklists with auto-calculated quantities. Every bin verified before it leaves the shelf.
Vehicle assignment, loading order, and a departure guardrail that blocks leaving with items missing.
Buffet layout, linens, decor, sanitation, signage — with a readiness photo before doors open.
Timed reminders for temperature checks, station refills, ice top-offs. Log incidents in-line.
Extinguish, pack leftovers per client instruction, venue sweep, sign-off walkthrough.
Unload, log damaged/missing items, return rentals within SLA. Job only closes when clean.
Get a rambling email from a client. A voice-memo transcript. A napkin sketch typed into your phone at 11pm. Paste any of it into Smart Notes, and Plated reads through and drops each detail into the right section of the job — with a preview to review before it applies.
Not a bloated PMS. Just the features caterers and personal chefs need, done well.
Next-event hero card, readiness %, KPI tiles, live alerts, upcoming events at a glance.
