Palate POS
The patchwork problem

Most restaurants run on five tools that don't talk to each other.

One app for scheduling. Another for reservations. A separate payroll provider. A point of sale that doesn't connect to any of it. And a stack of spreadsheets holding the whole thing together. You enter the same numbers three times, the totals never quite match, and you're the one stuck in the middle making it work.

One platform

Everything your restaurant runs on, in one place.

Palate connects your whole operation — point of sale, floor, reservations, scheduling, time and tips, payroll export, reporting, and your own online ordering. Build your menu once and it's everywhere. Clock-ins flow into scheduling and payroll on their own. For the first time, your numbers line up without a spreadsheet.

Hours and tips flow straight to payroll.

Clock-ins, breaks, and tip pools calculate on their own and export clean to Gusto, ADP, or whichever provider you already use, no re-keying, no end-of-period scramble.

Built with operators

Built alongside working restaurants.

Palate is shaped by the people who'll use it — owners, GMs, and line cooks who've told us exactly what a restaurant needs from its software, and what it doesn't.

Built with operators

All-in-one, without the catch.

One platform, one bill.

Instead of managing five subscriptions and five logins, everything works together in one place and stays up to date automatically.

A pleasure to run.

Instead of clunky software your team dreads, Palate is fast and clean, and a new hire can learn it in a shift.

Your time back.

Instead of being the glue between disconnected tools, you get the hours back for the food, the room, and your guests.

You get the all-in-one you'd expect from the big suites — without the price tag or the lock-in.

All-in-one, without the catch.
