What Taro watches for

From price spikes to dead stock, all in one feed.

Every insight is grounded in your restaurant data — never an estimate without the numbers behind it.

Price creep & spikes

Sudden or gradual cost increases across vendors and ingredients.

Margin erosion

Menu items slipping toward — or past — negative margin.

Unmapped POS sales

Sales with no recipe link, hiding true food cost.

Stockout risk

Days-of-cover dropping below your reorder point.

Stale counts & variance

Overdue counts and significant gaps between actual and theoretical.

Duplicate & stuck invoices

Repeated uploads and imports that need attention before they distort numbers.

Spoilage & dead stock

Waste trends and slow-moving inventory tying up cash.

Missing costs & units

Ingredients with no price or broken conversions that throw off costing.

Sales mix movers

Items shifting your mix — and what it does to overall cost.

Taro Assistant
Which menu items have the weakest margin?
Three items are below 60% margin: Lobster Roll (41%), Steak Frites (54%), Seafood Pasta (58%). Lobster Roll dropped 6 pts after this week's invoice.
Where are we wasting the most money?
Dry storage has $4,200 in items unused 30+ days, and produce spoilage is up 9% this week.
The assistant

Less digging. More decisions.

Ask about inventory, purchasing, recipes, sales, waste, and reports. The assistant searches your data, summarizes it, and only makes changes after you confirm.

“Which ingredients are at risk of running out?”
“Show me invoices for chicken last month.”
“What prep recipes need par levels?”
