About
We build the brain that runs the back of house.
PrepMate AI Inc. makes agentic software for restaurants. Our product, FoodservAI, gives independent operators the kind of automation big chains pay millions for.

Why we exist
Independent restaurants deserve enterprise-grade AI.
Running a restaurant means juggling inventory, prep, staffing, vendors and customers — often on paper, in someone’s head, or across a dozen disconnected apps. The margins are thin and the mistakes are expensive.
PrepMate AI changes that. We put autonomous agents on the jobs that quietly drain time and money, and connect them into a single GM Dashboard. The result is a restaurant that largely runs itself — and an owner who gets their evenings back.
PrepMate AI Inc. is the company. FoodservAI is the product. We operate online, distributed across California and Taiwan.
Back of house first
We started where the pain is worst — inventory, prep and labor — not another ordering page.
Agents, not dashboards
Software that watches and acts, then asks for a tap. You stay in control, not glued to a screen.
Built with operators
Every feature is proven in real, independent restaurants before it ships.
