Keep the POS that works. Add the intelligence it never had.
You should not have to replace a dependable POS to get modern inventory and AI. Tare connects to the system already running in your restaurant, so your team keeps the terminals, workflows, and muscle memory they trust.
Tare is the intelligence layer, not another POS company. We specialize in custom connectors for on-premises setups other platforms overlook, plus official API integrations for cloud systems.

Your Restaurant Is Already Built.Onboarding Should Not Mean Rebuilding It.
Tare starts with the systems and files you already have. We bulk-import your supplier records and item catalog, bring in POS menu items and sales, then use AI to connect what you sell to what you stock.

Obvious matches suggested
An afternoon, not a quarter
Thousands of records. Only the exceptions need your attention.
Restaurants with thousands of items and ingredients can move from scattered exports to a review-ready workspace in the span of an afternoon. AI handles the predictable matches. You spend your time on the recipes that make your operation yours: house pours, prep batches, modifiers, and signature dishes.
Your first week should be spent acting on the data, not typing it in.

Small COGS Improvements Create Big Profit Gains
COGS often represents one of the largest controllable expenses in a restaurant. Tare helps operators track inventory, purchasing, receiving, and variance so they can identify where margin is leaking.

COGS Recovered margin Other
Example: a restaurant doing $1M in annual sales with 35% COGS spends $350k on food, beverage, and supplies. Improving COGS by 6% would lower that rate to about 33% and keep roughly $21k more in the business each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Do I need to replace my current POS system?
A:No. Tare connects to the POS your restaurant already uses, on-premises or cloud. We build around your existing terminals and workflows, so your staff keeps the interface they know while your sales data gains modern inventory, reporting, and AI capabilities.
Q:We use a cloud POS. Does Tare work with us?
A:Yes. Where your POS offers an official API, we connect through it. Our differentiator is also going deep on legacy on-prem systems that most inventory tools will not touch, so you get the same inventory intelligence either way.
Q:Can I use my mobile phone to scan items, or do I need special hardware?
A:Yes, you can use your mobile phone or opt for our high-speed barcode scanner for maximum efficiency. Both options offer real-time visual confirmation of each item scanned.
Q:How does the system ensure accuracy when tracking inventory?
A:Our platform provides visual item confirmation during scanning, ensuring accurate tracking and reducing errors commonly associated with manual entry.
Q:Are inventory updates synchronized across all devices?
A:Absolutely! Inventory updates occur in real-time, so any changes made using the scanner or mobile device are instantly reflected across the system.
