Disclaimer

1. Business tool, not professional advice

PlateBook workbooks, templates and tools are general business tools for food-service owners and operators. They are not accounting, tax, legal or financial advice, and they are not a substitute for the guidance of a qualified CPA, accountant, attorney or business consultant. Using our products does not create a professional-services relationship with you or your business.

2. When to consult a professional

Food-cost benchmarks, margin targets and tax treatment vary by concept, location and jurisdiction. Consult a qualified professional if you have questions about regulatory compliance, sales-tax obligations, food-safety requirements, employment law, or any material financial or legal decision.

3. Your numbers and decisions

You are responsible for the accuracy of every number you enter and for verifying every formula output against your own records. Spreadsheets can be damaged or changed by user action, software differences or file corruption. Keep your own backups. We are not responsible for pricing, purchasing, staffing or any other business decision you make based on the Products.

4. Examples and benchmarks

Where the Products include sample data, example menus, or industry benchmarks (such as a 28-to-35% food cost target), they are for illustration only and may not apply to your concept, market or cost structure. Do not treat them as guarantees of any result.

5. Software and compatibility

PlateBook workbooks are built for Microsoft Excel. Other spreadsheet programs and older versions may not support every feature. We are not responsible for loss caused by changes you make to the files, third-party software, or data you enter.

6. No affiliation

PlateBook is independently operated. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft, Whop, Meta, any industry association, food brand, or author named in the products. Names and marks belong to their owners.
