Modernize Your Sales Data. Keep Your Current POS.
Whether your POS runs on-site or in the cloud, Tare connects to the system you already use—without replacing terminals, forcing a migration, or retraining your team. You gain modern inventory, variance, margin, and AI insights on top of the sales data you already produce.
Our specialty is custom connectors for on-premises setups other platforms will not touch. Already on a cloud POS? We integrate through official APIs as well.

Two Ways We Connect to Your POS
Same inventory intelligence either way—custom connectors for on-site systems and official API integrations for cloud POS platforms.
On-premises POS
Custom connectors for legacy and on-site systems other inventory platforms overlook. We come to you, learn your setup, and build around the terminals and database you already run.
- No terminal replacement
- Historical sales preserved
- Runs alongside your system
Cloud POS via API
Where your POS offers an official API, we connect through it and pull menu items, sales, and pricing into the same inventory, variance, and margin intelligence.
- Official API integrations
- Menu and sales sync
- Same AI and reporting tools
Beginning inventory + purchases − ending inventory.
POS sales (product mix) × your recipes.
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.

Food: From Sales to Inventory
Here's how Tare turns a night of POS sales into a precise picture of what you actually used — and flags the gap in between.
1Sales include 35 brisket plates, 20 sandwiches, 12 brisket tacos, and 7 brisket mac-and-cheese add-ons.
2Tare imports every entrée and modifier, then applies each recipe’s brisket portion.
3Those sales were expected to use 18 lbs of cooked brisket.
4The kitchen began with 35 lbs and received no additional brisket.
5Closing inventory shows 12 lbs remaining, making actual usage 23 lbs.
6Actual usage was 23 lbs versus 18 lbs expected: a 5 lb variance potentially caused by oversized portions, unrecorded meals, or waste.

Beverage: From Sales to Inventory
The same math works behind the bar — every pour reconciled against what your POS rang up.
1Sales include 24 vodka sodas, 18 Moscow mules, and 11 espresso martinis from the last service period.
2Tare ties each cocktail to its recipe pour and totals expected vodka usage across the menu.
3Those drinks were expected to use 38 oz of vodka — about 1.5 bottles.
4The back bar started with 4 bottles and had no new vodka delivery.
5Closing count shows 1.5 bottles left, making actual usage 2.5 bottles.
6Actual usage was 2.5 bottles versus 1.5 bottles expected: a full bottle of variance to trace through pours, comps, or spillage.

Know before the margin slips
82.3% gross margin
Visible on every drink sold
Imagine you're serving an Old Fashioned with a gross profit of $13.16 per drink. If your supplier raises the price of bourbon or bitters and the recipe cost climbs, you could keep charging $16 without realizing the margin has changed. Tare prevents that blind spot by turning every scanned invoice into current ingredient costs.
The moment a cost changes, your recipe is recalculated and your team is alerted. Because the menu price is connected through your POS, you can see the impact, adjust pricing with confidence, and protect the profit on every drink you sell.
