The operating system for bars & restaurants.
Run every tab, every invoice and every shift from one place. Your costs, your POS, your schedule and a live P&L on one system — priced by the module, shaped around how your house actually runs.
Built for every kind of room
Six apps, three spreadsheets and a clipboard. Or one OS.
Most restaurants run on a pile of tools that never talk to each other — so the numbers never agree and someone retypes them at 1am. Tech for Tabs replaces the pile with one system where every invoice, tab and shift feeds the same costs.

23 modules. Buy the plan, or just the parts you need.
Every feature is a module you can switch on, switch off, rename and reorder. Start with invoices and prices; add the POS when you're ready.

From a crumpled invoice to the cost of every plate.
Snap the invoice on the dock or let the vendor email it in. Every line lands in an append-only price ledger, and every recipe that uses it is re-costed the same day.
- AI reads every line — vendor, number, date and items — and you approve before anything posts.
- Two-person approval and out-of-balance checks to the cent.
- Price alerts when a vendor moves past your threshold, with what it costs at your volume.
- Plate and pour cost through sub-recipes, yield and trim — live.
Tabs that never get lost. Tickets that never fall off the rail.
Our own touch-first point of sale for bars and restaurants, a kitchen display with timers, and a book that remembers your regulars — all writing to the same numbers as your back office.
No more payroll at 1am.
Build the week against forecast sales with labor % live as you go. The crew clocks in with a PIN on any tablet, timesheets get approved in a click, and tip pools calculate themselves.
- Schedule builder with labor cost against forecast
- Overtime warnings while there's still time to swap
- Tip pools by hours, points or both
- Payroll CSV export from approved timesheets
Prime cost every day. Every location side by side.
Sales from the POS, cost from approved invoices and counts, labor from the time clock. Your P&L is live because its inputs are — and with more than one location, you'll spot the one drifting in days, not quarters.
Your house, your words, your rules.
No two restaurants run the same way, so nothing here is fixed. Rename anything, reorder the menu, decide exactly who can do what, and switch modules on or off as the business changes.
Simple plans. Or exactly the modules you want.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Pay yearly and get two months free. Or build your own from $39/month.

Works with what you already run.
Keep your point of sale and connect it in minutes, import your distributors' files, forward invoices by email — and when you need more, build on the API.
Built like it holds the money. Because it does.
Your sales, your costs and your team's hours are some of the most sensitive numbers in the business. We treat them that way.
Tenant isolation in every query
Every row belongs to one account and one location, and the database layer refuses any query that isn't scoped to yours.
POS credentials encrypted
Third-party keys are stored with AES-256-GCM, with the key held outside the database.
An audit trail on the money
Approvals, voids, comps, price changes and sign-ins are logged with who, what and when.
Roles and two-person approval
Custom roles scoped by location; whoever codes an invoice can never approve it.
Sessions re-checked on every click
Deactivate someone who walked out mid-shift and their access ends on the next request.
Managed, backed-up Postgres
Your data lives in a managed Postgres database with point-in-time recovery, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Questions operators ask us.
Something else? Ask us anything — a real person answers.
Do I have to replace my point of sale?
No. Keep Toast, Square or Clover and connect it — sales and the menu mix arrive every night. If you'd like a POS built into the same system as your costs, Tabs POS is there when you're ready.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most single locations are working the same afternoon: create the account, pick your business type, and we set up storage areas, checklists and terminology to match. Drop in your last few weeks of invoices and the price ledger starts filling itself.
Can I buy just the parts I need?
Yes. Choose a plan, or build your own from a small platform fee plus exactly the modules you want. Add or drop any module any month — dependencies are added for you, so nothing breaks.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
Nothing is charged during the trial and no card is needed to start. When it ends you pick a plan; if you don't, the account locks — your data is kept, not deleted, and you can come back to it.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your invoices, recipes, counts and sales are yours, exportable to CSV at any time and available for export for 30 days after you cancel.
We have several locations. Does that work?
That's what it's built for. Every location keeps its own books, people only see the locations they work, and the multi-location dashboard compares them side by side.
Is the AI going to post invoices on its own?
Never. AI reads the page and drafts the invoice; a person on your team checks it, and nothing reaches your price ledger until it's approved.
Close the books before
you close the doors.
Start a 14-day free trial of any plan. No credit card, no setup fee, and your data is yours from day one.
