The point of sale walks to the table.

Tabit is a restaurant POS built for a phone in a server's hand. Orders go in at the table, the kitchen sees them the same second, and the check gets paid without anyone walking to a terminal. Tabit installs it and trains your floor. We put it on processing you can read, and you get both phone numbers.

Get started
First, watch a table turn Where the 12 to 15 minutes actually come from.

One table, two ways to run it

Same four-top, same order. The striped segments are the walks: to the terminal and back, to the printer and back, to the card machine and back. Tabit removes the walks.

What actually changes on the floor.

Most of the value is not a feature. It is a walk your servers stop taking.

at the table

The order goes in where it is spoken

The server types it on the phone while the guest is still talking. No scribbled ticket, no re-keying at a terminal, no "was that no onions or extra onions." Tabit reports an 80 percent drop in server mistakes, and this is why.

in the kitchen

The kitchen sees it the same second

Tabit Kitchen is the display above the pass. Tickets land as they are sent, coursed and timed, so the kitchen fires on the real order instead of the one that arrived three minutes later on a printer.

at the check

The check gets paid at the seat

Tap, dip, or Apple Pay on the server's device. The card never leaves the guest's sight, the tip prompt is on the screen in front of them, and the table opens up while the old way is still walking to the card machine.

in the pocket

The upsell is prompted, not remembered

Wine pairings, add-ons, and a re-order drinks button show up on the server's screen at the right moment. Tabit's restaurants report 8 to 15 percent higher spend per guest. That is the one number on this page that pays for the system.

Tabit's numbers, and how to read them.

These are results Tabit reports across its restaurants. They are real, and they are averages. Your floor plan, your staff, and your menu decide where you land.

0%fewer server mistakes
8 to 0%more spend per guest
0%fewer staff needed per shift
12 to 0 minfaster table turns at peak

A useful way to check the claim yourself: count how many times a server walks from a four-top to your terminal and back during one dinner. That is the time Tabit is talking about.

Tabit does not own your processing. That is the part most POS companies bury.

Many restaurant POS systems only work with their own payments, priced how they like, and the equipment is the hook that keeps you there. Tabit is processor agnostic. The POS and the processing are two separate decisions, which means the rate is one you can see and compare.

How the locked-in POS works

You pick the software you like. The processing comes attached, usually as one flat rate. Leaving the processing means leaving the POS, so the rate rarely gets questioned.

2.6% + 10¢ flat

A typical bundled rate. The markup inside it is not shown anywhere.

How Tabit runs with Payment Gurus

Same software. The processing is ours, priced the way everything on this site is priced: interchange plus a stated margin, or cash discount if that fits your room.

interchange + 0.25% + 7¢

Example margin. Your quote states yours exactly, and your statement shows both numbers every month.

If a POS quote does not separate the software from the processing, ask for it in two numbers. Tabit can give you two numbers. That is why we carry it.

The pieces, and what each one is for.

Tabit is sold as modules. You do not need all of them. These are the ones we see used, in plain terms.

Tabit PAD

The core. Handheld ordering and payment on a phone or tablet: tabs, coursing, seat numbers, splits, tip pools, and tap to pay at the table. Everything else on this page plugs into it.

Hotels

Room charge and PMS posting for hotel restaurants, bars, and pool service.

Loyalty without the punch card.

Tabit Points is built into the POS, not bolted on. A guest signs in with a phone number, earns on what they spend, and redeems on the next visit. No app to download, no card to lose.

How it runs on the floor

  • Guest gives a phone number at the table or the counter. That is the whole sign-up.
  • Points accrue on the check automatically. Nobody has to remember to stamp anything.
  • Rewards show up on the server's screen at the next order, ready to apply.
  • You see who comes back, how often, and what they order, and can send offers to the people who have gone quiet.
  • Reporting is live, in the same back office as sales and labor.

It talks to the software you already pay for.

If your accountant, your scheduler, or your hotel's PMS is on this list, Tabit feeds it directly. If it is not, ask us before you assume.

Who it fits, and who should skip it.

We carry several POS systems on purpose. Tabit is the right answer for some rooms and the wrong one for others, and we would rather say so here than after the install.

Tabit fits

  • Full-service restaurants where servers work tables and run tabs
  • Bars and lounges with table service and a real dinner rush
  • Hotel restaurants and room service that need to post to a PMS
  • Multi-location groups that want one back office across stores
  • Anywhere the walk to the terminal is costing you turns

Look elsewhere if

  • You are counter service or retail. Clover is the better fit and cheaper to run.
  • You want a terminal, not a system. The Dejavoo Z11 does that job for a fraction of the cost.
  • Your staff will not carry a phone. A handheld POS that stays in a drawer is an expensive drawer.
  • You are a full-service room that wants Shift4 processing baked in. That is SkyTab, and it is a fair choice.

Who does what.

Two companies, two jobs, no gap between them. This is worth knowing before you sign anything, because with a bundled POS it is usually one company doing both and hiding the seam.

Payment Gurus

  • Looks at your room and your volume and tells you honestly whether Tabit is the right fit
  • Boards the processing on interchange-plus or cash discount, with the software and the rate as two separate numbers
  • Reads your statement after go-live and answers any processing question in plain English
  • Local point of contact in Michigan for anything money-related, before and after the install

Tabit

  • Site survey, hardware, and installation, done by Tabit's own team
  • Menu build: every item, modifier, course, and tax rule entered and tested before go-live
  • On-site training for servers, bartenders, and the kitchen before the first live shift
  • Ongoing software support and updates. Tabit's support line is 833-TABIT-US

See Tabit on your own menu.

Tell us about the room and we will set up a Tabit demo with your items on it, not a sample restaurant. Bring a recent processing statement too and we will show you what the processing side looks like separated from the software.
