How much is invoicing? What are the fees?
Need clear invoicing math? TABL Invoicing is 2.9% + $0.30 per invoice payment with no monthly invoicing fee. Most operators also have to factor in pricey monthly software and contract stack-ups elsewhere. With TABL, you keep things simple and predictable—competitive processing plus only a small 1% customer-paid service fee on the invoice.
Why is TABL free?
It’s designed to scale with your order pace, not your anxiety. TABL gives you a $0 monthly software option, then charges only usage and transaction-related costs as your business grows.
How does TABL pricing work?
No monthly software subscription. TABL adds a flat per-order service fee based on order size: $0.35 on orders under $10 and $1.00 on orders of $10 or more, passed through at checkout to your customers. Want to compare fast? Open the pricing calculator and see side-by-side.
Can I sell pro-shop merchandise with TABL?
Yes. Use TABL Shop for products such as balls, bags, shirts, and branded merchandise. The shop and concession menu are separate selling workflows rather than one combined guest cart.
How do Stripe payments and fees work?
TABL runs card-present transactions through Stripe, with payouts handled through your own Stripe account. Choose a Stripe Reader M2 or BBPOS WisePOS E for card-present checkout, or use TABL Mobile tap-to-pay when you want a lighter setup.
How fast can I get set up?
Most teams are live in a few business days once the basics are ready. We run through account setup, menu and tax configuration, hardware pairing, test payments, and launch checks in a fast, guided flow.
Can you help me switch, set up, and go live?
Yes. We handle setup, menu build/import, payment configuration, and hardware onboarding, then stay with you through launch. It’s designed to reduce friction and keep your service momentum intact.
Can I use TABL on my phone?
Yes. Use TABL in a mobile browser for core workflows, or use TABL Mobile on iPhone, iPad, or Android for service away from a fixed counter.
Can TABL help me switch from another POS?
Yes. TABL can replace your current POS with guided support across menu import, payment setup, hardware decisions, and launch coaching. The goal is a smooth move from Square, Toast, Clover, or other systems while keeping service moving.
Does TABL work with parties and events?
Yes. Use event-specific menus, invoicing, and reporting for birthday parties, league events, tournaments, and private bookings.
What kinds of bowling businesses can use TABL?
Independent bowling alleys, family entertainment centers with lanes, bowling concession operators, and small multi-location groups can use the same flexible POS system.
How does TABL Mobile sync with TABL Portal?
TABL Mobile supports service away from a fixed counter. Orders and supported operational updates connect with TABL Portal so staff can work from the same system.
What hardware do I need, and can I use Stripe?
TABL runs in any modern browser on tablet mode, and you can pair it with Stripe Reader M2 or BBPOS WisePOS E. Want even lighter hardware? TABL Mobile iOS Reader Mode lets your phone act as the reader.
What do real-time analytics include?
You get live sales totals, top items, and demand trends as orders hit the system. With dashboards updating in real time, you can make menu and staffing decisions before the rush surprises you.
How does lane-side QR ordering work?
Place your TABL order QR code at a lane or table. Guests scan, browse, order, pay, and confirm the lane as their order location. Orders enter the connected TABL workflow. This does not promise automatic bulk generation of unique, lane-prefilled QR codes.
Can I update my menu anytime?
Yes—you can update menus any time in the portal. If you prefer, support can handle updates for you. Either way, edits sync in real time across POS and digital channels.
What internet connection does my bowling center need?
TABL is built for less-than-perfect internet, not only ideal conditions. Hotspots and backup links can keep service moving, and we can help design a connectivity setup that fits your location.
Are there any contracts?
If we provide the hardware, that setup is covered by a hardware contract so you have clear terms on equipment and support timing. Beyond the hardware, there are no long-term software contracts for TABL.
How does support work?
TABL includes U.S.-based support from onboarding through migration and day-to-day operations. Menu updates, payment checks, and launch issues get quick response when your business is busy.
How do events work with TABL?
Create event-specific menus for leagues, tournaments, parties, and private events, then review event analytics when planning the next busy period.
Is KDS included?
Yes—fully included. KDS gives your team a clear kitchen view for prep and handoff without adding a separate KDS product cost.
Does TABL have a customer loyalty program?
Yes. Customer Loyalty is opt-in, so you can turn it on whenever you're ready. You set your own repeat-customer incentives to bring regulars back, and there is no extra software fee and no per-member charge. Most other POS systems put loyalty behind a paid add-on or a higher plan tier.
What if I don't need all the features TABL provides?
Perfect—most features are opt-in. Our team helps you launch only what you need, so your system is clean from day one. There are no forced upsells, and future releases are included at no extra software cost.
How do updates and feature requests work?
All future feature updates and releases are included—no upsell. Our team also moves quickly on feature requests so TABL keeps evolving with your operation.
What happens after I request a demo?
After you request a demo, our team jumps right in with clear next steps. We review your setup, answer your exact questions, and help you decide quickly whether TABL is the right move.
