TachyonOwl
PRIVATE BETA · @ our café - Jancat, St Thomas

Run your kitchen better than the big chains.

Skip the franchise.

TachyonOwl runs your back of house - receiving, inventory, traceability, food-safety - so nothing expires unnoticed, walks out the door, or trips up an inspector. Built by people who actually run a café.

How the system fits together

Your gear, wired to one record.

The tablet running the app - the system of record
THE RECORD

Every scan, label and batch lands here - inventory, traceability and food-safety, one source of truth.

With task management to make sure no prep is forgotten and everything's in stock. Do more without over-hiring and over-purchasing.

SCAN - a barcode scanner

SCAN

Beep each case in as it arrives, each box as it's opened, and each ingredient as it's prepped. Manufacturer lot number captured during receiving to stay ahead of recalls.

LABEL - the label printer

LABEL

Use-by and standardized name, printed on the spot. No more confusion around messy handwriting, different ways to write dates, or whatever each cook calls the same ingredient. Scan the labels again anytime for lightning-fast inventory count.

TRACE - a labelled product

TRACE

Every item tied to its batch and supplier. Every prepped ingredient tied back to the team that made it, and the ingredients that went into the recipe. Full traceability from the plate back to the supplier.

Why us

Operators who can build. Builders who run a kitchen.

A lot of restaurant software du jour is a payments company with kitchen features bolted on. We're the opposite - a café and 15 years building software, making the tool we needed and running it ourselves, every day.

built in a real kitchen · used every shift · by the people who run it
