Why mobile-first matters on a busy floor
In a traditional setup, servers take an order, walk to a fixed terminal, wait their turn, ring it in, and walk back. On a busy night, those trips add up to miles and minutes. With Tabit, servers order and take payment on a handheld at the table, so orders reach the kitchen sooner and servers spend more time with guests.
Faster table turns without rushing guests
Speed in a dining room isn’t about hurrying guests out. It’s about removing the dead time: waiting for a server to notice you’re ready to order, waiting for the check, waiting for the card to come back. When ordering and payment happen at the table, each of those pauses gets shorter, and the table is ready for the next party sooner.
Kitchen routing that keeps up
Orders route to the right station or printer automatically, with modifiers and seat numbers clearly marked. Coursing lets servers fire appetizers and hold entrées until the table is ready, so the kitchen paces each table correctly.
Questions to ask in a Tabit demo
- How many handhelds will my floor need on a busy night?
- How are split checks and seat-by-seat orders handled?
- How do tips flow to servers and into payroll?
- What happens to orders if the Wi-Fi drops?
- How do online or takeout orders reach the kitchen?
Wi-Fi and hardware planning
A handheld-first system depends on a reliable wireless network across the dining room, patio and bar. Before go-live, we’ll check coverage and recommend any changes so devices stay connected in every corner of your restaurant.
Processing and dual pricing
We’ll quote the software, handhelds and processing separately so you can compare the full cost honestly. If you want to offset card costs, we’ll set up compliant dual pricing on menus and receipts.
Setup and training
We build your menu, modifiers and floor plan, then train servers on the handhelds before your first shift. Most servers are comfortable after a single session, and you have a direct line to our team after launch.
Menu flexibility for changing specials
Restaurants change menus constantly: daily specials, seasonal dishes, items that run out mid-service. Managers can add, edit or mark items as unavailable from the back office, and the change shows up on every handheld right away. Servers stop selling dishes the kitchen can’t make, and guests aren’t disappointed after ordering.
Reporting for owners and managers
Clear reports show sales by server, table, item and hour, along with tips and voids. Owners can see how fast tables are turning, which servers are selling the most, and which menu items drive profit. Those numbers help with scheduling, menu pricing and training, and you can check them from your phone without being in the building.
Who Tabit isn’t for
If you run a counter-service restaurant, a retail store, or you only want fixed terminals at a host stand, a different system will likely suit you better. Tabit earns its value on a busy dining floor where servers are moving constantly. We’ll tell you honestly if another option fits your business better.
