We’ve had a great experience with TABL at The Greek Kitchen. The QR ordering feature is a game changer because it lets customers place orders without waiting in line, which keeps things moving during busy times. Their customer support team is fantastic, responsive and quick to implement feedback. It’s clear they care about helping small businesses succeed.

What businesses are saying
See why operators choose TABL to keep service moving.
As a small business, we are always looking for better ways to track sales and inventory. We tried a few systems, but each had major limitations. After joining Okie Food Trucks, we heard about TABL and decided to give it a try. Although it is built for food trucks, it fits our business perfectly. TABL has delivered in every area. It is simple enough for my 15-year-old to run, and he can easily manage products, variations, and track sales and inventory. We even suggested a feature, and the team delivered a working concept in just two days. That level of responsiveness is rare. We did not realize how much we needed this system. TABL is a game changer.
Since coming on board with TABL, we have seen an increase in our speed and organization during public sales. They are quick to push out important updates that make a real difference in our day-to-day operations as a food truck and catering company. We are beyond grateful for the responsiveness and the amazing platform, and we would highly recommend TABL to any food vendor!
Switching to TABL has been one of the smartest moves for our business. Finally, a POS that actually keeps up with us. The setup was smooth, the system is easy to navigate, and their customer service is top-tier and there when you need it. They take real-time feedback and turn it into improvements, which is rare and refreshing. And let’s not ignore the bonus: lower operating costs without sacrificing performance. We are thrilled to be on this platform. Do yourself and your business a favor and check them out.
TABL has been incredible to work with—their customer service is truly top tier. They’re responsive, helpful, and actually listen. Any changes or requests I’ve had have been implemented quickly, which makes a huge difference when you’re running a business.
The communication with those on the TABL team is truly unmatched! Not only does the system work great for my mobile coffee business, but their team makes it run even smoother! Any questions are answered promptly and kindly. The few months I’ve used TABL so far have been amazing!
We started using TABL about a month ago, and we absolutely love it. The customer support and on-call service are incredible; they’re there for you when you need them. I just wish we had it sooner. Highly recommended.
TABL has been a great move for us as a small business. Their customer support is five stars! When we’ve had questions or suggestions, they respond quickly and have always been happy to help us.

Pricing & fees
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 charges no monthly software fee, 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.
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.
Getting started & switching
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 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.
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.
Payments, hardware & mobile
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.
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.
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 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.
Lanes, parties & features
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 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.
Does TABL work with parties and events?
Yes. Use event-specific menus, invoicing, and reporting for birthday parties, league events, tournaments, and private bookings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
