An iPad till for your bar that keeps the drinks flowing: rounds, shared bills, happy hours and self-service. Without your staff getting stuck at the screen.
Behind the bar every second counts. Your staff ring the round in, take payment straight away or leave the tab running, and are back at the taps. Even a mixed drink is a single button.
You lay out your own main screen around the favourites of that night. Lager and house wine up front, the rest a page further on. A new button or a different price is yours to change from behind the bar, and it is live on every device straight away.
You tap the spirit and pick the mixer. Two lines land on the bill, each under its own VAT rate, so you do not hand over too much tax on the soft drink half. You set that up once.
Anyone who can use a phone can use this. No course beforehand and no crib sheet next to the till, not even on a busy Friday night.
A tab that runs all evening, or a customer card with credit on it. Your regulars do not have to reach for their bank card every round.
Your guest scans a QR and has the card on their phone. Behind the bar you scan it and the tab is open.
Working with a punch card or credit paid up front? You top it up at the bar and every round comes off automatically.
Per guest you see the credit and the most recent bills, so at the end of the night you know exactly who still has to settle up.
Download 20Tabs from the App Store or Play Store and run it on almost any device. Use the iPad or tablet you already have, or pick the hardware that suits your bar. No mandatory terminals and no lock-in, you decide what you run on.
Open a tab by name, table or group. Split bills without the faff and repeat a round with one tap. Your staff stay at the taps, not at the screen. That is the speed a good cafe till gives you.
A quick one-off sale or a tab that runs all evening, you choose per order. And unlike many tills: no fee per connected card reader.
Craft beer bar De Vluchte serves 200 guests with two people behind the bar. A tab system and self-service are what make that possible. See how they do it.
In a pub, speed is what matters most. The difference between a good night and a bad one sits in the seconds per round: the sooner a round of six beers is on the bill and paid for, the shorter the queue and the more you take. A good cafe till therefore has a main screen you lay out around the favourites of that night, and lets you repeat a round with one tap. No hunting through menus during the rush.
Where 20Tabs stands apart is how it handles groups and open tabs. Student nights, Friday drinks and long-standing regulars all run more smoothly with a tab system and a bill that stays open all evening. 20Tabs supports punch cards and shared tabs by name, table or group. At the end you settle the whole table with one tap, or you split the bill and email everyone their own payment link. For a group or a business customer you send a single invoice instead, with the spend broken out neatly per person. And whatever you would rather sell outright, you ring up as a one-off on the same device.
What a good bar till also takes off your hands is the manual work around prices and discounts. With happy hours you set time blocks with automatic discounts, so you are not adjusting prices during your busiest hour. It runs itself, and your takings for the night add up at the end without recalculating.
And at the end of the week you want to see what actually happened. Which night performs best, how much goes over the bar and how much through the kitchen, which beer you need to reorder: that is what your reports tell you. With 20Tabs that is in every subscription, so you steer on numbers instead of on gut feel.
Speed above all: repeat rounds with one tap, split bills and automatic happy hours, with as few buttons as possible. You want to choose between taking payment straight away and a tab that runs all evening. For busy nights, a tab system for paying afterwards and self-service through a kiosk both help. A table map with eighty slots is the one thing a pub does not need.
Between €100 and €500 a month for a complete till for your cafe or pub, based on your revenue. No charge per connected card reader, no setup fees, cancel monthly. You can start from €25 a month with 20Tabs Go (plus 2% of revenue).
Yes. You download 20Tabs from the App Store or Play Store and run it on almost any device: an iPad, an Android tablet or your phone behind the bar. No mandatory terminals and no expensive hardware to get going. Still want professional POS hardware? Then we will quote for it.
Yes. You work with loyalty cards and open tabs by name, table or group, so regulars, student nights and Friday drinks all settle up afterwards. At the end you settle the whole bill with one tap, split it with a payment link by email, or send a single invoice with the spend broken out per person.
20Tabs works over the internet, so a connection is needed. Which one does not matter: if your wifi drops, you carry on over 4G or 5G. In practice you are not left standing still when something happens to your internet.
