Frequently asked questions
How much does Avero cost?
Avero publishes three packages. Starter is free for any number of users and locations and includes free POS integration for most common systems, the Logbook, menu-mix trends and configurable dashboards. Essentials starts at $300 per location per year for restaurants, bars and smaller groups, and Professional starts at $600 per location per year for hotels, casinos, nightlife and larger groups. Both paid tiers increase in price based on annual sales volume.
Which POS systems does Avero integrate with?
Avero lists support for a long list of POS systems, including Aloha, Toast, Square, Micros Simphony, InfoGenesis, Revel, Breadcrumb, Silverware, Squirrel and many others, and notes free POS integration is available for most common systems. Buyers should confirm their specific POS is included before signing up.
How long does it take to get value from Avero?
Avero advertises simple, fast setup and free POS integration, and the free Starter tier can be started without a contract. Most operators can expect first reporting within one to two weeks of connecting the POS, with deeper labor, promo and group analytics coming as additional modules are enabled.
Does Avero include AI features?
The vendor pages reviewed describe analytics, dashboards, scheduled email reports and mobile access, along with a chat bot on the free plan, but do not describe AI or machine-learning capabilities, model providers, or how customer data is used for model training. Buyers with specific AI requirements should ask Avero directly.
What kinds of operators use Avero?
Avero targets restaurants, hotel F&B and casino F&B. The company says it is used by over 43,000 operators in 75 countries, that 13 of the top 15 hotel brands trust it, and that it supports roughly 90% of the casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. It is aimed at multi-unit groups rather than single-site operators who need a full restaurant ERP.
Does Avero publish security certifications?
The vendor pages provided for this review do not include a security or trust page, and no SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP or other certification claims appear on the pricing, contact, about or homepage content. Buyers who require certifications should request documentation directly from Avero.
