What CoreTAP is
CoreTAP connects to Toast POS and turns transaction data into assigned, tracked actions for bar operators. It performs more than 65 calculations across nine intelligence modules, covering revenue, employee performance, menu profitability, void anomalies, fraud signals, and time trends. The Action Engine prioritizes recommendations, supports delegation and deadlines, sends overdue alerts, and tracks accountability scores. Pulse Live shows active tabs, upsell cues, alerts, VIP identification, tab-pressure trends, and per-server performance projections. Included modules cover Pulse Live, Daily 1%, dashboards, time analytics, employee scoring, menu intelligence, waste tracking, fraud forensics, customer intelligence, and Action Engine. PDF exports, API access, and a branded subdomain are included. Toast is the available POS integration; other platforms are on the roadmap. Toast API connection requires Toast Restaurant Management Suite at $50/month, billed by Toast. CoreTAP costs $799/mo annually or $999 a month month-to-month, per venue.
