We’re building the
technology all restaurants run on.

Our vision

Restaurants are the heartbeat of our communities, and how many restaurant operators create a brighter future for their families. Yet, too often, the unsung heroes behind these businesses work long, grueling hours for little reward.

Tarro exists to build technology that makes restaurant life less of a grind, and to bridge the gap between the joy of food for consumers and the bottom line for restaurant operators.

Born from the restaurant grind

Steve and Dennis (our founders) firsthand experience of the family restaurant grind inspired a mission to help restaurants thrive. Today, Tarro empowers restaurant owners with technology to reclaim their time and achieve lasting success.

The family restaurant grind

It all started when 14-year-old Steve began working in his family's restaurant, handling everything from answering calls to making deliveries.

He witnessed firsthand the relentless grind of restaurant ownership and saw his parents miss precious family moments, consumed by their business. Yet, he also shared in his parents' joy when customers were happy and felt their pride as they worked toward the American Dream.

Steve drops out of Harvard

In the summer of 2012, Steve called his parents to tell them he was dropping out of Harvard to start Tarro. The decision left his immigrant parents deeply confused and worried, as they saw the stability and conventional success they wished for their son slipping away. However, for Steve, the path was clear.

Tarro is born

We create simple, powerful tools that help restaurants run smoothly and make more money, so owners can pour their energy into the food and people they love. Steve and Dennis began by answering every call themselves and tracking orders in a humble spreadsheet. Years later – after even walking away from a $200 million buyout – their resolve to serve the restaurant community is stronger than ever.
