Tell Tare AI What You Mean. It Updates the Canvas for You.

Type, talk, or send images — however you prefer to communicate. Tare AI does not just answer questions. It searches your catalog, builds the exact apportionments you describe, and creates the POS-to-inventory linkages directly in the interface.

It is also the interpretive layer on top of your reports: ask about variance, understand what changed, and leave with a cause and action plan — without rebuilding the analysis yourself.

Not just answers — interpretation

The Intelligence Layer That Sits On Top of Every Report

Most systems stop at the table. Tare AI helps you read it — variance, receiving, perpetual inventory, transfers, price movement, activity logs, and more. You do not need an analyst to translate what the numbers mean or where to look first.

Interpret the report

Ask Tare AI to explain what a report is showing — which items moved, which categories stand out, and what changed since the last count.

Identify likely causes

Drill into over-portioning, receiving gaps, recipe mapping issues, transfer mistakes, or supplier changes without rebuilding the analysis yourself.

Leave with an action plan

Get a prioritized checklist for what to verify next: recount a zone, audit a recipe, review invoices, or assign a spot check to the right person.

When variance spikes, the question is never just “what is the number?” It is “what caused it, and what do I do Monday morning?” Tare AI is built for that second question.

Variance investigation

From Spike to Action Plan — Without Rebuilding the Analysis

Ask why an item spiked and Tare AI pulls the variance math for you — expected versus actual usage, whether the gap is statistically meaningful, and what it cost in dollars if the trend holds.

It does not stop at explanation. Tare AI suggests concrete next steps and assigns daily spot checks to the right person — so nothing falls through the cracks between shifts.

  • Get exact variance figures with expected vs. actual usage for any item.
  • See whether a spike is statistically significant or normal noise.
  • Understand dollar impact and potential savings if you close the gap.
  • Assign spot check tasks directly from chat.
  • Surface the most likely causes so you know where to look first.

Turn Raw Reports Into Cause, Context, and Next Steps

Open a variance report, receiving analysis, perpetual snapshot, or activity log and ask Tare AI what stands out. It helps you separate noise from signal, connect the report to the operational story behind it, and decide what deserves investigation first.

That makes Tare AI the interpretive layer across your operation — the same assistant on mobile and desktop when a manager needs to understand a discrepancy, brief the team, or build an action plan for tracking it down.

Works across report types including variance and usage analysis, receiving and purchasing reports, perpetual inventory snapshots, transfer and activity logs, price extremes and cost changes.

  • Ask Tare AI to interpret any report and investigate variance by item, category, location, or time period — no analyst required.
  • Get help identifying likely causes: waste, portioning, receiving, mapping, or transfers.
  • Leave with a concrete action plan for what to recount, review, or assign next.
  • Get push alerts when activity needs attention, and attach product, label, or receipt photos for more context in chat.

Questions managers actually ask

What does this variance report actually tell me?
Why is brisket showing 12 lbs over expected usage this week?
What should I check first to track down this vodka discrepancy?
Walk me through the receiving analysis for last month.

Example action plan

Tracking down a vodka variance

  1. 1Review the last two receiving reports for pack-size or case-count errors.
  2. 2Confirm the POS recipe mapping for cocktails using that product.
  3. 3Assign a spot check on the back bar before the next service period.

AI invoice parsing

Read the Invoice. Match Every Line.

Snap a photo or upload a PDF and Tare uses vision models to extract the supplier, products, quantities, unit sizes, and prices down to the line item — no spreadsheet shift required.

AI then matches what the supplier wrote to the products and vendors already in your catalog, even when names, pack sizes, or abbreviations do not line up exactly. You review the exceptions; the obvious matches flow straight into receiving.

Once orders are in, ask Tare AI to pull them back up — by supplier, date, or item. It returns the same quantities, unit costs, and totals you see in your receiving report, with the original invoice attached as reference when you need proof.

  • Extract line items from paper invoices, photos, and PDFs automatically.
  • Match extracted supplier names to the vendors already in Tare.
  • Map supplier descriptions to your inventory items when wording differs.
  • Ask for past orders by supplier and get line-item detail with invoice reference.

A faster path to value

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.

01

Supplier bulk import

Send us supplier PDFs, images, CSVs, or spreadsheets. We extract the details, match existing suppliers, and give you a clean review before anything goes live.

Supplier records organized
02

Item catalog bulk import

Bring over products, pack sizes, units, categories, and supplier relationships in bulk. Your team does not have to rebuild years of item data one row at a time.

Catalog loaded in bulk
03

POS items and sales import

Connect or import your menu items, prices, categories, and sales history from the POS you already use, including on-premise systems.

Menu and sales connected
04

AI-driven ingredient mapping

Smart Map connects the obvious relationships between what you sell and what you stock, then isolates the recipes and edge cases that deserve your judgment.

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.

Menu extraction for onboarding

Bring Your Menu In Without Retyping It

During setup, Tare can extract menu item candidates from the files you already have — upload a menu photo or PDF, or point us at your restaurant website — and turn them into structured POS items ready for review.

That gives Smart Map a head start connecting what you sell to what you stock, so your team spends onboarding time on judgment calls instead of manual menu entry.

  • Extract menu items from uploaded menu images and PDFs.
  • Pull menu candidates from your restaurant website during onboarding.
  • Review extracted items before they become live POS records.
  • Feed the results directly into AI-driven ingredient mapping.

Smarter item setup

Categorize New Items As You Add Them

Every new product does not have to start as a blank form. When your team creates an item, Tare AI suggests category and subcategory based on the item name and the categories you already use across your catalog.

That keeps new records organized from day one, improves search and reporting, and saves managers from repeatedly making the same classification decisions.

  • AI suggests category and subcategory from the item name as soon as you start typing.
  • Suggestions respect the categories and subcategories already in your organization.
  • Review, accept, or override the recommendation before the item goes live.
  • Keep receiving, counts, and reports consistent even as new products are added.
