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 are in, not autopsy the month you already lost.

The menu did not change. Two suppliers did. On a monthly close both of these surface together in one number, six weeks after the second price rise.
Illustrative. The shape is the finding; the numbers are not from any one venue.
The instrument is slower than the problem
Bar margins are thin enough that a few percent of variance decides whether a year was good or hard. The measurement of that variance usually arrives monthly, as a single figure covering four weeks of trading.
A business losing money at a rate it can only observe monthly can lose a meaningful amount before the observation exists, and cannot attribute it once it does. That is not the same as being badly run. It is being run with a slow instrument.
Everything below is about closing that gap, and none of it removes the need for a physical count. Counting is an accounting requirement and NexusTAP does not replace it.
Know your true cost while the shift is still happening: invoices, prime cost, variance and margin.
A supplier price rise is caught in the week it lands instead of at the next close.
Invoices, read rather than retyped
Supplier invoices land as data instead of as a pile to key in on a Sunday. The value is not the saved typing, it is that a price change is visible in the week it happens rather than in the month it is noticed.
You can still change the week you are measuring.
Prime cost on the week, not the period
The same calculation the accountant runs, on a cadence an operator can act on. A prime cost that moved this week has a cause somebody still remembers.
The gap gets a night and a rota, so there is something to actually do about it.
Variance with a shift attached
A period figure tells you the size of a gap. The same figure split by shift and product tells you where it came from, which is a different finding and the only one with an obvious intervention.
The serve that quietly stopped being worth selling gets repriced or pulled.
Margin by product, kept current
Cost moves under a menu that does not. Margin by product, recalculated as invoices arrive, surfaces the serve that quietly stopped being worth selling.
NexusTAP is one product in the Delta Kinetics suite
Each one closes a different gap between knowing and doing. CoreTAP is the flagship and reads the point of sale live. The comparisons set out where each of these sits against the tools you may already run, including where those tools are stronger.
Put your cost control on the same clock as your shifts
Bring two weeks of invoices and trading, and we will show you what a weekly prime cost would have told you.
Connects to the POS you already run. No register swap.
