Your bar is losing more than you think.
Industry data shows where the money goes — and why most owners never see it until it's too late.
0–30%
of pours go unrecorded
Free pours, missed rings, and over-serving destroy your margins before the night ends.
$0+/mo
lost to employee theft
The ACFE estimates restaurants lose 5% of annual revenue to occupational fraud — invisible without forensic analytics.
0%
of revenue in just 4 hours
Golden hours — Friday and Saturday 9pm–1am — generate most of your week. CoreTAP shows exactly how to squeeze every dollar.
You're pouring 200 drinks a night and barely breaking even. The answer isn't working harder — it's seeing where the money actually goes.
From Toast POS to actionable intelligence in minutes.
No CSV exports. No manual entry. No waiting.
Connect Your POS
CoreTAP connects to your POS system (Toast available today; additional platforms on the roadmap). No hardware. No manual data entry. Your transaction data flows directly into our analysis pipeline.
We Analyze Everything
Revenue patterns, employee performance, menu profitability, void anomalies, fraud signals, time-based trends — CoreTAP runs 65+ analytical calculations across 9 intelligence modules.
You Get Actions, Not Just Charts
The Action Engine cross-references every module and produces a prioritized list of exactly what needs to happen: "Server Jake's void rate is 3× the house average on well drinks — review his pour patterns." Specific. Contextual. Actionable.
Your Team Executes
Delegate actions to your GM or managers. Set deadlines. Get overdue alerts. Track accountability scores. Your bar runs itself even when you're not there.
Other tools count your bottles. CoreTAP tells you WHY you're losing money and WHO is responsible.
The bar tech landscape is fragmented. Inventory counters can't detect fraud. Video systems can't optimize menus. Your POS can't score employees. CoreTAP connects it all.

Complete Feature Comparison
Industry first. No other bar or restaurant platform gives operators real-time intelligence during service. Pulse Live was built for the moment things get chaotic — late rush, double-slammed Saturday, short-staffed Friday — so your GM can make decisions in the moment, not the morning after.
See your floor right now. Every tab. Every server. Every alert.
Pulse Live is the first real-time intelligence layer ever built for bar operations. Not a report you read tomorrow. Not a dashboard you check after close. Live intelligence — while your bar is in motion — so the people running it can act before money walks out the door.
Live floor view — all active tabs
Every open tab on the floor. Tab name, server, spend so far, duration, and status. Know at 10:45 PM exactly how many tabs are open and what they're running. No guessing which server is behind.
Real-time upsell cues
When a tab hits 3 drinks, CoreTAP flags it for a bottle upsell. When spend hits a threshold, it surfaces a premium pour suggestion. Your servers see the cue, execute the upsell, and the tab grows — automatically prompted, never random.
Live alert store with snooze
Alerts fire as anomalies happen — not in a morning report. A server's void rate spikes mid-shift? You see it. Cash correlation looks off at midnight? Flagged. Snooze alerts you've addressed so your GM's screen stays clean.
VIP identification on open tabs
If a known VIP opens a tab, it's labeled immediately. Your manager can walk over, say hello, and make them feel recognized — before they close out. That's how regulars become loyalists.
Tab pressure trend
Each active tab shows a Rising / Falling / Stable pressure signal based on spend velocity. Rising means the tab is growing fast — a good time to send your best server over. Falling means it's cooling — close it out before it ghosts.
Per-server performance projection
Midway through the shift, CoreTAP projects where each server will land at close. "Maria is on pace for $3,400 tonight." Now you know who to push and who to watch — before the shift ends.
Why this matters live: Every upsell your server misses costs you ~$20–$60 in margin. Pulse Live surfaces the moment. Your server captures the sale. That's the ROI — in real time, not in a report.

For Toast POS, CoreTAP connects through Toast's API, which requires Toast's Restaurant Management Suite ($50/mo, billed by Toast). That's a Toast fee, not a CoreTAP fee.
Multi-location operators: discounted pricing available — we'll tailor the plan to your portfolio when we connect.
