Tabs
Open a tab without a card swipe
Customer scans a QR, saves a card in the background, and the tab is live. Bartender pours. Card is there when it's time to close.
For bars & pubs
Open tabs without a card hold. Split a round nine ways without the rage. Close down the night with the same till the staff actually trust.
Works on the iPads you have. UK rails. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.

Tabs, splits, and 86s without leaving the taps
What changes at the bar
Tabs live on the table, the bar, or the phone, not on a sticky note. Cards link in the background. Nothing walks off.
Split by seat, by item, by share, in the same flow. The next person taps once. The bartender doesn't do mental maths in front of a queue.
Preset menus for events, capacity caps on private hire, deposits on a card before the booking confirms. One platform, not five plugins.
Built for the bar
Tabs
Customer scans a QR, saves a card in the background, and the tab is live. Bartender pours. Card is there when it's time to close.
Splits
By seat, by item, equal share. The reader handles partial settlements without rebuilding the bill.
Pay at bar
Contactless on every device: the iPad, the handheld, the customer's phone. Settle while the next round is being poured.
Modifiers
Spirit, mixer, garnish, glass, twist: set as modifiers, priced by the brand. The bar prints what they pour.
Private hire
Deposits, minimum spend, pre-orders, allergen notes. The card is held against no-shows; you set the policy.
Events
Limit the menu to the kitchen's capacity, raise the prices on the right line items, push it to QR and the bar in one move.

“The tab closed itself before the next round was poured.”
Saturday, 22:40
Table 6's tab settled itself when the last guest tapped. The bartender pours the new round for the group standing at the bar, prints two more dockets, and never opens a card-swipe screen.
30 days free. No card required. White-glove migration in a weekend.
