Know your food cost before it surprises you.
Taro AI connects vendor invoices, ingredient stock, recipes, and POS sales into one live system — so your team spots margin leaks before they hit month-end.
Know your true food cost today — not at month-end.
The second an invoice hits, Taro re-costs every affected recipe and flags what's eating your margin — while you can still do something about it.
Your numbers live in too many places to trust.
Inventory in one spreadsheet, invoices in a binder, recipes in a doc, sales in the POS. By the time the numbers meet, the margin is already gone.
Costs lag your deliveries
Ingredient prices stay weeks behind the last invoice you received.
Sales fly blind
POS sales never connect to what they actually consume.
Surprises at month-end
Variance shows up long after you could have fixed it.
Buried in manual entry
Hours of re-keying invoices instead of running service.
One loop, from invoice to insight.
Every delivery, count, and sale feeds the same live picture — and Taro tells your team what to do next.
Import invoices
Upload or auto-receive supplier invoices. Taro extracts every line, tax, and fee.

Taro surfaces what's eating margin — with the evidence and the next action.
AI does the tedious parts. You review and verify.
Not a chat-box bolted on the side — AI built into recipes, counts, and the daily admin your team already does. Every result comes with confidence and reasoning, and a manager confirms before anything is saved.
Nutrition analysis

Allergen analysis

Your personal sous chef for the numbers.
Ask it anything about your inventory, invoices, recipes, and sales. It knows your restaurant, answers in plain language, and does the busywork — so you can stay on the floor instead of in a spreadsheet.
