Tarro is building the future of restaurant infrastructure. The U.S. restaurant industry is a trillion-dollar market, but it remains relatively underserved by technology. Running a restaurant comes with a never-ending list of operational work, and many owners spend most of their day on what they have to do rather than what they want to do. We envision a future where they can delegate that work to Tarro and focus on what they love doing.
Restaurant owners want more orders, better margins, and fewer operational headaches. Giving them software is only part of the answer. Our ecosystem brings phone ordering, online ordering, delivery, point of sale, payments, and marketing into one vertically integrated operation. We combine software, AI, and human operations so independent restaurants can hand that work to us end to end.
Using Tarro should feel like having experienced operators, engineers, and marketers working for your restaurant. Our job is to turn that expertise into services owners can rely on, without having to build those teams themselves.
Thousands of restaurants have entrusted Tarro with their success. Since 2020, we’ve processed close to $3 billion in restaurant orders, helped those restaurants serve more than 20 million consumers, and taken an estimated 3 million hours of work off their teams’ hands. And we’re still early in our journey.
We’re a lean team with top talent from OpenAI, Meta, Google, Tesla, Square, Stripe, Shopify, and Citadel. We’re scrappy builders who love to roll up our sleeves and get into the details of improving a restaurant’s operations. Many of us regularly work in restaurants to experience firsthand what our users deal with.
We move quickly, keep process light, and expect high standards of craft. Our leaders stay hands-on, and our teams have the autonomy to make decisions and the responsibility to see them through.
At Tarro, product judgment and technical execution belong together. You’ll be trusted to understand the restaurant’s problem, decide how to solve it, and carry the solution through to something people use every day. If you want to build products restaurant owners depend on, we’d love to work with you.
