Tekr does not need to rebuild the till, stock system, rota or bookings platform to add value. It needs those systems to remain strong sources of truth.
Why the POS matters
The POS is the commercial heartbeat of the restaurant
It gives Tekr the trading context that makes workforce, stock, bookings and customer feedback more useful.

Tekr connects the signals
“Demand weakened, but labour remained scheduled for forecast levels. Similar services suggest the afternoon rota can be reduced without a measurable effect on service.”
What we need
A narrow, read-first API integration. Not control of the POS.
We want the minimum customer-authorised data needed to build useful intelligence, with a low operational burden on you.
Initial data scope
- Orders and transactions
- Products, categories and modifiers
- Locations and trading timestamps
- Discounts, voids and refunds
- Tender summaries, where relevant
- A historical backfill, then incremental updates
What we are not asking for
- No payment initiationTekr does not process or initiate card payments.
- No destructive write accessThe integration is read-first. Tekr does not edit orders, menus or till data.
- No unnecessary sensitive dataWe avoid fields that are not needed to produce the intelligence.
- No uncontrolled API trafficDesigned around predictable, monitored syncs, not constant polling.
The same principles apply to workforce, inventory, bookings and review platforms: the minimum data, with the customer’s authorisation, and your system remains the source of truth.
Why partner
A partnership should make your platform more valuable, not compete with it
Tekr gives restaurants more reasons to use the data your POS already creates.
01
More value from POS data
Your transactional data becomes the commercial context for wider operational decisions.
02
A stronger ecosystem story
Customers can connect the POS into a broader best-of-breed hospitality stack.
03
Stickier customer relationships
Better outcomes increase the perceived value of the systems already in place.
04
A potential referral channel
Where a Tekr customer needs a POS, supported integration partners are naturally easier to recommend.
05
A low support burden
Tekr owns its product, onboarding, data mapping and first-line integration support.
06
Joint customer success
Mutual customers see a clearer operational return from the technology they already pay for.
A simple path
Start small, prove value with mutual customers, then scale
We want a partnership that is technically clean, commercially sensible and easy for both teams to support.
- 1
Align
Confirm the permitted data scope, the API access model and the partnership route.
- 2
Connect
Use sandbox or test credentials to build and validate the read-first adapter.
- 3
Pilot
Launch with one or more mutual customers and measure the operational value created.
- 4
Scale
If the pilot works, document support, onboarding and any referral or co-marketing.
Integration principle
- Customer authorises access
- Provider API
- Tekr ingestion adapter
- Intelligence for the operator
Minimum scopes · monitored syncs · secure credential handling · Tekr supports Tekr
Your POS runs the transaction. Tekr makes the data useful across the rest of the business.
A good next step: identify a mutual customer, agree a narrow read-only data scope, and prove the value together.
