What are the fees? A: 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. Q: Why is TABL free? A: 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. Q: How does TABL pricing work? A: No monthly software subscription. TABL uses a usage-based service fee based on order size, with a minimum of $0.35 and max of $1.00, passed through at checkout to your customers. Want to compare fast? Open the pricing calculator and see side-by-side. Q: Can I refer other coffee businesses to TABL? A: Yes—great for operator communities. TABL supports partner referrals, and our team can help both you and your referral launch fast. It works perfectly for local networks, and yes, there is a referral bonus for successful connections. Q: How do Stripe payments and fees work? A: 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. Q: How fast can I get set up? A: 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. Q: Can you help me switch, set up, and go live? A: 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. Q: Can I use TABL on my phone? A: Absolutely. Use TABL on a mobile browser for core workflows, then power up TABL Mobile on iPhone, iPad, or Android for fast line-side service. Your phone experience stays fully aligned with your tablet-based Portal workflow. Q: Can TABL help me switch from another POS? A: 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. Q: Does TABL work with catering? A: Yes. TABL supports catering with larger orders, event-specific menus, delivery routing, and invoicing. You can schedule service dates, keep catering and walk-up operations in one POS, and use one shared reporting view. Q: What kinds of coffee businesses can use TABL? A: Independent cafés, bakery cafés, drive-thrus, coffee carts and trailers, pop-ups, catering teams, and small multi-location operators can use the same flexible POS system. Q: How does TABL Mobile sync with TABL Portal? A: TABL Mobile is your line-side and event companion. Every order opened on iPhone, iPad, or Android syncs instantly to TABL Portal so order flow, availability, menu changes, invoices, reporting, and KDS stay perfectly in sync. Q: What hardware do I need, and can I use Stripe? A: 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. Q: What do real-time analytics include? A: 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. Q: How do QR ordering and delivery work? A: TABL creates public QR and order links straight from your menu config. Orders flow into your POS with real-time status updates, and menu/pricing changes publish instantly. Delivery can be switched on through DoorDash when your delivery is enabled. Q: Can I update my menu anytime? A: 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. Q: What internet connection does my coffee business need? A: 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. Q: Are there any contracts? A: 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. Q: How does support work? A: 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. Q: How do events work with TABL? A: TABL supports coffee businesses that shift between regular service, catering, private events, and pop-ups. Create event-specific menus, lock in pricing and availability by event, generate assets quickly, and review event analytics to prep stronger for the next rush. Q: Is KDS included? A: Yes—fully included. KDS gives your team a clear kitchen view for prep and handoff without adding a separate KDS product cost. Q: Does TABL have a customer loyalty program? A: 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. Q: What if I don't need all the features TABL provides? A: 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. Q: How do updates and feature requests work? A: 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. Q: What happens after I request a demo? A: 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. --- ## Testimonials — https://coffee.tabl.page/#testimonials All quotes are verified five-star reviews from active operators. - Bearded Hogs (Jesse S.): "We started using TABL about a month ago, and we absolutely love it.
