Packages

The package and whatever comes on top, kept apart

A fixed price per guest for the dinner, and a bottle of champagne for the toast alongside it. You ring both in on the same bill without having to work out afterwards what was included.

A fixed price per guest, extras beside it

The package goes onto the bill as a whole. A few more wines, a dessert outside the menu or a round at the bar simply slots in behind it.

A menu of its own per event

A company party with an Italian buffet needs different buttons than a wedding. You lay out each event separately, so your staff only see what counts that evening.

From twenty guests to four hundred

Put out exactly as many devices as the evening calls for, across the room, the garden and the bar. Everything is unlimited in your subscription, so scaling up costs you nothing extra.

Settling up

One bill for the evening, or an invoice afterwards

At a party it is rare for everyone to pay separately. Everything rung in that evening runs on the same bill, and you close it the way the client wants.

One bill that runs all evening

Wherever in the building the order is placed, it lands on the same bill. At the end you close it in one go instead of gathering up slips.

The bill goes out afterwards

You send it digitally, with the spend neatly broken out. The client does not have to settle up the moment the party has just finished.

Or simply pay at the bar

At a reception where guests pay their own way you settle straight away with Tap to Pay on the same device you ring the order in on.

Why event and wedding venues choose 20Tabs

A new party is ready in a few minutes

You create a menu or a package without having to ring anyone. For a venue that does something different every week, that is the difference between moving with it and being stuck.

Take payment in the room, the garden or at a pop-up bar

Anywhere you put a device you can ring in and take payment. An outdoor bar in good weather is one you switch on and off again afterwards.

Per event you see what it made

You see per party what went over the bar and what was in the package. That helps when you quote for the next one.

A till for your wedding venue or function room: what is different from a restaurant

An event venue rarely sells à la carte. You sell packages: a fixed price per guest for a three-course dinner and an open bar, or a reception with unlimited bar snacks. The rest is extra, a few more wines, a bottle of champagne for the toast, a dessert that was not in the package. A good till for function rooms keeps the package separate from what comes on top, and ends with one clear settlement, however the party is paid for.

Because how it is paid for differs per event. If it all runs centrally, you keep one bill that stays open all evening and is closed in one go at the end, on the company or on an invoice. That bill does not have to be paid on the spot: you send it out digitally afterwards, with the spend neatly broken out. And at a reception where guests pay their own way, you simply settle at the bar.

Every event also asks for its own setup. A company party with an Italian buffet needs different buttons than a wedding, and you create that per event in a few taps, so your staff only see what counts that evening. And because you have to be able to take payment anywhere, paying by Tap to Pay works as well in the room as in the garden or at a separate bar outside.

Afterwards you want to know whether the costing held up. You see per event what was rung in, split between the package and the extras, so you base the quote for the next party on figures rather than on your memory of the evening.

Frequently asked questions about a POS system for event venues

What is a good POS system for an event venue?

A till for function rooms and wedding venues has to handle packages (a fixed price per guest), let you ring extras up alongside them, and settle flexibly: everything centrally on one bill, on an invoice afterwards, or simply per guest at the bar.

Can I create a menu of my own per event?

Yes. For each party you create a layout with that evening's buttons in a few minutes, so your staff do not have to search through a full range. All events do work from the same product database.

Does this work for permanent venues as well as one-off events?

20Tabs is built for permanent event venues: wedding venues, function rooms and meeting spaces. For one-off events we are approachable too; get in touch about the options and pricing.

What does a POS system for a function room cost?

Between €100 and €500 a month, based on your revenue. Everything is unlimited in your subscription, so even when you put several devices out for a large event you pay nothing extra. You can start from €25 a month with 20Tabs Go (plus 2% of revenue).
