Restaurants, bars & cafés

Take the order sooner. Turn the table faster.

TAB helps you take orders faster, keep them moving from table to kitchen, and get paid without the usual wait.

The guest orders when they have decided, not when you walk past

A code on the table opens your menu in the phone's browser. Nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.

What the table sees

The code opens the menu, and the menu knows the table

Add-ons, notes and a running order, without waiting to be noticed.

Where the minutes go

From order to payment, without the wait.

  • Customers order when ready

    Today
    Guests wait to be noticed
    With TAB
    They order the moment they have decided

    From the table code, WhatsApp or your storefront, all one menu. Staff can still take orders too.

  • Orders go to the right place

    Today
    Tickets rewritten by hand
    With TAB
    Food to the kitchen, drinks to the bar

    Straight to the station that makes it, extras attached, printed if you want paper.

  • Customers pay when ready

    Today
    Waiting to catch someone's eye for the bill
    With TAB
    They pay from the table

    The bill is on their phone. They pay or split it, and the table frees itself.

  • Stay ahead of stock

    Today
    A guest is the one who finds out
    With TAB
    The bottle comes off the menu at zero

    Drinks carry a real count, so the floor hears about the last bottle first.

Closing the table

Getting paid without the second wait

The second wait is the expensive one. A table that has finished eating is one you cannot seat again.

The bill is already on their phone. They pay by card or transfer, split it between them if they like, and can add a tip.

Pay in full

Card or bank transfer

Or split it 4 ways at ₦ 6,150.00 each. The guests choose, and it still settles as one figure the next business day.

The platform

Everything you need to run your restaurant.

  • QR ordering

    A code per table, fixed once, releasing itself the moment the table pays.

  • WhatsApp ordering

    Order and pay from a link, for collection or delivery, off the same menu.

  • Add-ons and sides

    Extras and sides on any dish, with a free allowance if you set one.

  • Kitchen tickets and station routing

    One queue split by station: kitchen, grill and bar each work their own.

  • Station printing

    Automatic thermal tickets at each prep station.

  • Meal pacing

    Course pacing and prep time per item, so courses leave the pass in order.

  • Payments

    Card and transfer in TAB, or your own machine, recorded against the order.

  • Split payments

    Each person pays their share from their own phone.

  • Tips

    Added at checkout and reported beside your takings.

  • Reservations and floor plan

    Table bookings taken in TAB, with a floor plan and seat map of the room.

  • Events

    A function runs as its own event, on a menu that exists for the night.

  • Opening hours

    Orders taken only while you are open, and pausable instantly.

  • Inventory

    A real count on bottles, and dishes marked off when the kitchen calls them.

  • Customer records and loyalty

    Every order attached to the guest, with points and tiers for regulars.

  • Analytics

    Sales by item, day and hour, so you see when the room is busy.

  • AI reports

    On your phone at 11pm: what sold, what did not, what to reorder.

What the kitchen sees

New, preparing, ready, with the table on every ticket

Split by station, timed from the moment it was sent, and printed at the pass if you want it.

TAB's kitchen screen: tickets in New, Preparing and Ready, each with its table, how long it has been waiting and a button to start preparing

Running out

The bar is countable. The kitchen is not.

Bottles and packaged goods carry a real count, so the last glass comes off every menu at once.

A plate of jollof is not a stock unit, and TAB does not pretend it is. Dishes are marked off when the kitchen calls them. If you need costing to the gram, tell us early.

What a service on TAB looks like

  1. Before service

    Mark off what is not on tonight. The table codes never need resetting.

  2. First orders

    Guests scan and order. Staff still take orders for anyone who prefers a person.

  3. Through the rush

    Tickets land at the right station, tagged with the table. Nothing is shouted twice.

  4. Tables close themselves

    Guests pay when ready, and the code frees itself for the next party.

  5. After close

    Takings and what ran out are already recorded. The report lands at 11pm.

Under the pass

One menu, one queue, one set of takings

Not a bundle of separate tools. One login behind the table, the chat and the storefront.
