From one to a clinic
№ 00Editor's
note

Most nutritionists became nutritionists to help people eat better — and then spent most of their week formatting Word documents, chasing form submissions, and copying client information from one spreadsheet to another. Plate exists to give that time back. A single workspace, built around the specific rhythm of nutrition practice — invitation, intake, plan, progress — designed for one practitioner or a clinic of ten.

Plate Editorial, Winter MMXXVI
§Part I / The Problem

Most practices run on six different tools.

Google Forms for intake. WhatsApp for follow-ups. Word documents for plans. A spreadsheet for progress. An inbox full of attachments. Past ten active clients, the patchwork breaks — and the time disappears into admin work instead of nutrition work.

Fig. 01The Patchwork07 tools— And counting Google Forms WhatsApp Excel plan_v3.docx Gmail Calendar Notes
  • i.
    Information lives everywhere, and nowhere. Client details scatter across seven applications — and you re-collect the same data every consultation.
  • ii.
    Every plan starts from a blank document. Fresh formatting, manual sending, no tracking of who is following what.
  • iii.
    There is no view of the practice.Who's progressing? Who's stalled? Who hasn't replied? You hold it all in memory.
  • iv.
    Beyond fifteen clients, the model fails. Admin compounds faster than revenue. The cap is bureaucratic, not professional.
§Part II / The Product

One workspace, from invitation to follow-up.

Built around the four moments of nutrition practice: invite, intake, plan, follow-up. Three connected modules, designed to feel like one tool.

i.Module 01 — Invitations

Invite, onboard,
never re-explain who you are.

Send a personal email invitation or share a single link. Your client lands on a branded page that introduces you — your name, your photograph, your practice — before signing up under your account.

  • Single-use email invites or shareable, multi-use links
  • Branded landing page carrying your bio and photograph
  • Expiry, revocation, and usage tracking for every link

ii.Module 02 — Assessment

Structured intake.
No more scattered notes.

A default assessment covers demographics, goals, medical history, eating habits, and lifestyle. Customise it, or build your own from scratch in the form-builder. Clients fill it on their phone, and the submission lands in your dashboard the moment it's complete.

  • Default template grounded in standard nutritional assessment
  • Drag-and-drop builder, reusable templates, every field type
  • Auto-save drafts so clients never lose progress mid-form

iii.Module 03 — Plan Builder

Plans as composed as your practice.

Build structured plans section by section — morning routine, meals, hydration, exercise, special notes. Save them as templates. Duplicate for revisions. Export as branded PDFs. Your client sees a clean, mobile-first version of the same plan in their portal.

  • Nine predefined section types, fully reorderable
  • Draft and publish workflow with live preview as the client
  • Branded PDF export, plan templates, two-click revisions

§Part III / The Client Portal

What your clients see —
simple, considered, theirs.

A focused client portal — calm, mobile-first, designed for daily use. They follow their plan, tick off meals, log their weight, and every signal flows back into your dashboard.

  • i.

    Today's plan, at a glance.

    A clear daily view of what to eat, when, and the portion. Designed for someone checking it on a phone before lunch.

  • ii.

    One-tap progress logging.

    Weight, mood, adherence, and optional photographs — logged in seconds. The data flows back to your dashboard as charts.

  • iii.

    A history they can actually use.

    Old plans archived, never lost. Clients revisit what worked, and you revise the current plan in two clicks.

§Part VI / Common Questions

Questions,
answered.

Anything not covered here, send us a note — we reply within a day, usually within an hour.

Do my clients need to download anything?

No. Plate is a web application — clients open it in any browser, on phone or desktop. No app to install, no app-store gatekeeping, no friction.

Can I migrate my existing clients into Plate?

Yes. You can invite existing clients by email — they sign up under your account in seconds. For Practice plans, we'll help you bulk-import.

Who owns the data — me or my clients?

Both, in different ways. You own your plans, forms, and notes. Clients own their personal health data and can export or delete it anytime.

Can I customise the lookof my client's experience?

Your name, photograph, and bio appear on the invite landing page and exported PDFs. Full white-labelling is on the roadmap for Practice plans.

Is this HIPAA-compliant?

Plate is positioned for wellness practice, not clinical medical records. We follow strong security practices (TLS, encrypted storage, audit logs) but don't currently sign HIPAA BAAs.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly plans cancel anytime from your settings. You keep full access to your data through the end of the billing period.
