Automated bar tab system for hospitality

Card-secured tabs for bars, hotels & venues.

Eliminate walkouts and speed up service across beer gardens, rooftops, hotel terraces, and high-volume venues. TAB turns staff phones into instant pre-auth terminals — no new till hardware required.

Card payments processed by Stripe · Works on any modern phone or tablet

Built for the way a bar actually runs

Zero hardware setup

No terminals to buy, no installer visit, no contracts for kit. Staff open TAB in the browser on the phone or tablet already behind the bar and start taking tabs in minutes.

Stop walkouts with card holds

Every tab starts with an automated card pre-authorisation — £50 by default. If a guest leaves without settling, the hold is captured and any remainder becomes a payment link.

Serve the beer garden faster

Run table-side tabs outdoors, in the garden or across floors. Staff add rounds from where they stand and guests watch their itemised bill update live on their own phone.

Automated X/Z cash-ups

A live X-report shows open tabs, unsettled value and revenue per staff member. Close the shift with a Z-report that captures totals, variance and a photo of the paper slip.

Open. Order. Settle.

01

Open the tab

Guest name, table, phone. The default hold amount is pre-filled.

02

Guest authorises

They tap a link, pick a tip and authorise the card hold on their own phone.

03

Add rounds

Quick-add tiles and a keypad add drinks and food in seconds, table-side.

04

Settle

One tap captures the balance. Over the hold? A payment link covers the remainder.
