Owner insight
See what your
guests asked.
A point of sale tells you what sold. tamr tells you what guests wanted to know before they decided: the dietary requests, the dishes that raise questions, the patterns you would never see on a sales report. That is the insight that sharpens a menu.
No rip and replace
Keep Foodics.
Add the layer.
tamr does not replace your point of sale. It runs on top of the Foodics setup you already trust, so your team keeps the system they know and your guests get a menu that finally answers them.

Choose tamr if
You want your menu to answer guests and tell you what they asked. tamr adds the guest-facing AI waiter and question analytics that a point-of-sale system does not, and it works alongside your Foodics setup.

Doesn't Foodics already have a QR menu?
