Snap, email, or forward bills — tiered OCR reads them, a person confirms the lines.

Cost control for hospitality
Know your true cost.
While the shift is still happening.
NexusTAP turns your invoices, counts, and POS data into live cost facts. Prime cost, variance, and margin show up intraday — so you can fix the shift you're in, not autopsy the month you already lost.

The problem
You’re flying the shift blind.
Back-office cost control still runs on a monthly clock. The decisions that protect your margin happen daily.
Month-end is too late to fix anything.
By the time the P&L closes, the food cost spike is three weeks old and the money is gone. You can’t manage a number you only see in arrears.
Invoices pile up and prices move silently.
Cases stack up unentered. A vendor bumps a key item 9% and nobody catches it until the close — if at all.
Theoretical vs. actual is a guess.
You know what the recipe should cost. You don’t know what actually walked out the door as over-pour, waste, or shrinkage.
How it works
From a stack of invoices to a live number.
Four steps, no month-end wait. Every cost is reviewed before it ever moves a margin.
01
Capture invoices
Snap, email, or forward vendor invoices. NexusTAP ingests them automatically — no manual line-item entry to fall behind on.
02
Tiered OCR + human review
Cost-conscious OCR reads each invoice, then a human-review queue confirms the lines. Accurate costs, without per-invoice LLM bills.
03
Reviewed costs become live facts
Confirmed lines project into your cost history as real, current cost facts — the prices you’re actually paying right now.
04
Pulse Live & Margin Center light up
Those facts flow into CoreTAP Pulse Live and the Margin Center intraday, so prime cost and margin move in front of you during the shift.
Everything NexusTAP does
The whole cost-control stack.
From the invoice on the dock to the action on your screen — every module, in plain English.
Real-time cost dashboard
Prime cost, variance, and margin update intraday — not at month-end.
Price trends & spike alerts
Catch a vendor bumping a key item the day it lands on an invoice.
Inventory + variance
Counts versus theoretical, so over-pour, waste, and shrinkage stop hiding.
Recipe & pour costing
Cost every plate and pour to the ingredient, and re-cost as prices move.
Vendors + scorecards
Rank vendors on price, fill rate, and accuracy; 3-way match the deliveries.
Labor & payroll feed
Scheduled labor flows into a controllable P&L — kept separate from the GL.
Multi-provider accounting
Clean GL export to QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage — the books you already keep.
Weather-aware par + auto-PO
Forecast demand against the weather and draft the next order before you run short.
Margin Center
A short, ranked list of the few moves that protect margin today, with dollar impact.
Open API & data export
A bidirectional public API and webhooks — read and write your own data, anytime.
The flagship
The Margin Center tells you the few moves that matter.
Live cost facts are only useful if they tell you what to do. The Margin Center turns them into a ranked daily play — and looks ahead to draft your next order against the weather.
e.g. 88°F Saturday → NexusTAP drafts the PO so you don't 86 the rail at 9pm. Neither MarginEdge nor Wisk forecasts purchasing against weather.
- A short, ranked list — not a 40-tab report. The few moves that move margin today.
- Every action carries a dollar impact, so you fix the biggest leak first.
- The weather-aware par forecaster drafts tomorrow's PO before you run short.
Live on the floor
Real-time, where you actually work.
Cost control shouldn't live in a spreadsheet you open once a month. NexusTAP pushes the moment that matters to the screen already in your hand.
- A reviewed invoice becomes a live cost fact the same day it lands.
- That fact surfaces intraday in CoreTAP Pulse Live — a price-spike alert on the floor, not a line in next month's P&L.
- A batch tool that emails you a next-day report structurally can't do this.
Under the hood, “real-time” is fast polling today — not a streaming promise we can't keep. The point is you see it during the shift, not after.

Why NexusTAP
Three things the others can’t say.
We don’t claim to do everything better. We do these three things they can’t.
01
Real-time, not month-end
Reviewed costs become live facts the same day, so prime cost and margin move intraday. You manage the shift you’re in — not the one you already lost.
02
Weather-aware par forecasting
Par forecasts factor in the weather and auto-draft your POs. MarginEdge and Wisk don’t — you order to a number that already knows tomorrow is 40° and raining.
03
Open API, no lock-in
A bidirectional public API and webhooks mean your data flows both ways. Connect what you already run and leave whenever you want. It’s your data.
Why operators trust it
Earned credibility, not borrowed hype.
We're new, so we won't wave fake logos or invented numbers at you. Here's what's real — then come judge the product on a live shift.
Built on the TAP platform
NexusTAP runs on the same Delta Kinetics rails already connected to Toast — real venue data, shared with CoreTAP, SignalTAP, and AtlasTAP.
Human-reviewed accuracy
A person confirms invoice line items before they're authoritative. OCR-only is the trap operators already reject — so we don't ship it.
Open API — your data is yours
A bidirectional public API and full export. Connect what you run, and leave whenever you want. No lock-in, no held-hostage history.
Real-time by design
The whole system is built around surfacing cost facts during the shift. It isn't a batch report with a faster cron.
