What Avero does

Avero is a privately held SaaS company that extracts, standardizes, and enriches point-of-sale data for the hospitality industry, then delivers analytics and operational insights to restaurant, hotel, and casino operators via web dashboards, mobile apps, scheduled email reports, and a RESTful API. Founded by Damian Mogavero (a former restaurant-group CFO) in 2002 and headquartered in New York City with offices in Las Vegas, Dallas, and Boulder, the platform integrates with 60+ POS systems — including Toast, Aloha, Micros Simphony, Square, TouchBistro, and Marriott GPOS — and supports time-and-attendance systems such as ADP, Kronos, and UKG for labor data. Its module suite covers sales and productivity, revenue management, logbook, group analytics, service team, finance, promos and voids, loss prevention, labor, and an API tier, with capabilities including server scorecards, menu engineering, fraud and theft detection, overtime reduction, and table-turn optimization.

The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market motion: a free Starter tier drives product-led adoption among independent and SMB operators, while Essentials ($300/location/year) and Professional ($600/location/year) tiers, plus direct field sales, target hotels, casinos, nightlife venues, and large restaurant groups. POS reseller partnerships provide an indirect channel, and partner integrations (Binwise, Nectar, M3 Accounting) extend the platform into inventory, pour tracking, and accounting. Avero reports serving 50,000+ hospitality professionals worldwide, 43,000+ users in 75 countries, 85–90% of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, and 13 of the top 15 U.S. hotel brands. Notable customers include Caesars, Wynn, Penn National Gaming, Galaxy Entertainment, Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Accor, Four Seasons, Landry's, Patina Restaurant Group, and Momofuku. The 2016 acquisition of VinTank extended the platform into wine analytics, and the company remains founder-led under CEO Douglas Hsieh with no disclosed institutional funding.
