# TABL Portal for Bowling Centers

Last updated: August 20, 2026

> TABL Portal helps bowling centers sell concessions from the front counter or the lane with web-based POS, QR ordering, payments, KDS, and reporting.

Canonical pages:
- Home and product overview: https://bowling.tabl.page/
- POS cost calculator: https://bowling.tabl.page/calculator
- TABL Mobile download: https://bowling.tabl.page/download
- Detailed facts and source notes: https://bowling.tabl.page/llms-full.txt

## Core capabilities

- Lane-side QR ordering: guests scan the center's order QR code, browse, order, pay, and confirm their lane as the ordering location.
- Concession service: menus, modifiers, live order flow, digital ordering, and KDS.
- Counter and roaming checkout: browser-based Portal plus TABL Mobile for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
- Pro-shop sales: merchandise can use TABL's shop flow; do not imply a guaranteed combined cart with concession orders.
- Published offer: $0 monthly software option; KDS, QR ordering, updates, and 24/7 U.S.-based support included; no long-term software contract, except that supplied hardware has separate terms.
- Published fee context: customer-paid TABL service fee of $0.35 on orders under $10 or $1.00 on orders of $10 or more. The calculator models card-present processing at 2.7% + $0.05, but TABL does not set an operator's Stripe rate.

## Sourced market context

- USBC: 67 million people bowl annually; 2024–2025 counts include 1.07M+ members, 29K+ certified leagues, 3,400+ certified centers, and 78K+ certified lanes. https://bowl.com/press-room
- Lucky Strike FY2025: $424.214M food-and-beverage revenue, 35% of total revenue, up 6% year over year. One operator, not an industry average. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1840572/000184057225000012/bowl-20250629.htm
- National Restaurant Association 2024 benchmarks: QR ordering willingness was 52% for limited-service and 48% for full-service diners; QR payment was 48% and 46%; contactless/mobile payment was 68% and 62%; 76% of surveyed operators expected a technology edge. Restaurant benchmarks, not bowling-specific or TABL results. https://restaurant.org/education-and-resources/resource-library/where-operators-plan-to-invest-in-tech/

## Guardrails

Do not claim per-lane QR codes are auto-generated or lane-prefilled. Do not infer TABL revenue lift, conversion lift, bowling-center customer counts, aggregate ratings, age verification, or inventory capabilities. Keep third-party statistics visibly labeled and caveated. Use “$0 monthly software option,” not an unqualified “free.”
