The full tour
See Chef at work.
Chef keeps your website up to date, dresses it for every holiday, writes your emails and posts, and brings your regulars back, while you cook. Here is all of it, recorded in the PrepLocal console.
30 days of Pro Plus, everything on. Set up in minutes.

Our promise
Big-brand marketing power. Fully automated. All in one place.
The big chains have marketing teams, agencies and software that cost a fortune. PrepLocal puts that same power in your hands, running by itself, on your terms.
No commission.
We never take a cut of your sales. You pay one plan price, and that’s it.
No contracts.
Pay by the month or the year, and cancel any time from your settings.
Your data is yours.
Your customers, menu, website, photos and marketing. They stay yours, whatever you decide.
Autopilot
Automation in motion, without worry.
PrepLocal and Chef worry about the little things, so you can worry about your kitchen. You should have this kind of power without paying an arm and a leg or signing over a cut of your sales.
Set it up once. PrepLocal and Chef take care of the rest, and tell you what they did.
- Holiday looks go on and come off by themselves, every year
- Seasonal menus swap in on the day you choose
- A weekly email Chef writes and sends unless you change or skip it
- Welcome, first-visit, we-miss-you, birthday and review emails
- A post whenever something new goes on your website†
- Your hours and closed days kept in step on Google†
- A website check-in and a summary every week
- “What PrepLocal did for you” on the 1st of every month
You ask: “What runs by itself?”
Holidays
Every holiday, handled.
Set up your year in minutes.
Pick the holidays you celebrate once, and they come back every year. Each one dresses your website on the day, comes off after, and puts back anything you changed yourself.
- 15 holiday and seasonal looks, from Christmas and Hanukkah to Lunar New Year and Día de los Muertos
- Holiday backgrounds that move: snow falling, lights twinkling, a sleigh across the moon
- Holiday hours and closed days on your site, said in one sentence
- Seasonal menus that swap in on the day
Open your site in a tab and say “Decorate my site for Christmas”
Your holiday menus swap themselves in.
Make a seasonal menu on the shelf, off your website, change it whenever you like, and set the day it swaps in. It happens first thing that morning, your bell says when it’s done, and Undo puts both back.
- “Add a seasonal category called Christmas Menu”
- “Add Roast Turkey Plate $18, Glazed Ham Plate $17 and Pumpkin Pie $6 to Christmas Menu”
- “Change Glazed Ham Plate to $19”
- “Swap Christmas Menu with Mains on Dec 24”
“Switch my site to the Christmas look on Dec 1”
“Use the frozen lake scene” (in the website editor)
“We’re open 10am to 2pm on Christmas Eve”
Email, push and rewards
Bring your regulars back.
Start an email from 11 templates, from this week’s specials to a holiday menu, or let automations send the right one at the right time. Every email shows what it brought.
- Welcome, first-visit, we-miss-you, birthday and review emails
- Push notifications to your customers’ phones
- A rewards card that works online and at the counter
- Pickup discounts: each customer gets their own code by email, and your team checks it at pickup
- One calendar for events, holidays, emails, offers and menu changes
You say: “Email my customers about our holiday menu”

See what runs by itself and what’s coming up in the next 14 days. Turn anything on or off, change its settings right there, or pause it all while you’re away.

Chef
Change anything on your website. Just say it.
Type it or say it, in English or Spanish, in your console, your website editor or on your site itself. Chef shows you the change first, nothing is saved until you say so, and Undo puts it back.
Build a whole menu section by talking.
A category, its dishes, a choice group, the sauces under each choice, and the group on every dish: five sentences, each one shown to you before it’s saved.
- “Add a category called Bowls”
- “Add Chicken Bowl $12, Steak Bowl $14 and Veggie Bowl $11 to Bowls”
- “Create a modifier group named Base with white rice, brown rice and greens”
- “Add a nested modifier group named Sauce to the Base group with teriyaki, spicy mayo and ginger”
- “Add Base to every dish in Bowls”
“Move my navigation to the left side”
“Write descriptions for dishes without one”
“Add trivia night next Friday at 7pm”
“Set up my website as a coffee shop”
