Subscription fatigue is real.
Running a restaurant is already expensive and stressful. The last thing an owner needs is one more monthly bill that quietly grows.

Why it's free
Free isn't a trial. It's the price.
Not free for now. Not free for the first 30 days. Not free up to 50 orders or one branch. Here is the reasoning, published in full.
Core restaurant tools are utilities, not innovations.
POS systems have existed for decades. QR menus are now a guest expectation. Inventory tracking is arithmetic and data entry. Charging hundreds a month for it isn't fair.
AI is the only genuinely new technology in the stack.
It is also the only genuinely expensive one. So it's the only thing we ever charge for.
The one metered thing
AI credits — pay-as-you-go, or never.
Every business gets free AI credits to start, so the value is provable before a single euro is spent. Beyond that it's top-ups only: no monthly AI fee, no commitment, no contract. Use no AI this month, pay nothing this month.

Timers that tell the truth
The clock is the server's, not the tablet's — a wall-mounted screen running four minutes fast doesn't change a single colour on the board. And it starts when you accepted the order, not when the guest placed it: a QR order that waited twelve minutes for approval lands at zero, because zero is how long the kitchen has had it.
Bump has undo, not "are you sure?"
Frequent, recoverable actions get undo. A toast shows the ticket number for a few seconds, and after that the ticket sits in Recall — a window of 30 minutes by default.
The board carries food, not money
No prices, no totals, no payment details. No phone number, no email, no delivery address. The only personal data on the board is a name, and only where the pass has to call one.

Guest menu analytics
Unique visitors over time, top sources, countries and devices — across date ranges. See what guests browsed, not just what they ordered.
The business day that matches your business
Set a timezone and a business-day start time, so sales after midnight are counted against the correct trading day. This is what makes a late-night venue's reports correct.
Every branch, one login
Menu, tables, taxes, stations, reports, inventory and employees are all branch-aware. Filter any view to one branch or to all of them.
Questions
The ones everyone asks first.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no monthly subscription, no annual plan, no per-branch fee, no per-employee seat cost, no setup fee, and no paid tier holding the useful features hostage. It is the product's permanent commercial model, not a launch promotion.
Why is it free?
Because most of what runs a restaurant is not new. POS systems have existed for decades, QR menus are now a guest expectation, and inventory tracking is arithmetic and data entry. Charging hundreds a month for that is not fair. AI is the one genuinely new part of the stack, and the one that genuinely costs us to run, so it is the only thing we ever charge for.
So what can I ever pay for?
Extra AI credits, and only if you use them. Every business starts with free credits. Beyond those it is pay-as-you-go top-ups — no monthly AI fee, no commitment, no contract. The product is completely usable without ever touching an AI feature.
Who can use Tabres?
Any business that serves food or drink. Restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs, fast food, bakeries, food trucks, cloud kitchens, home cooking businesses, and hotels and resorts all run on the same account. You turn on the parts you need: a café that only serves at the table can leave delivery and takeaway off, and a group of twenty branches runs all of them from one login.
Do I need to buy hardware for the kitchen?
No. Tabres KDS runs on the tablet, phone or screen the kitchen already owns — as a native app on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, or in a browser — on as many screens as you want. A manager enrols each screen once; after that every cook starts their shift with a PIN.
Can I run my restaurant from my phone?
Yes. Manager, POS and KDS all ship as native apps for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, and as web apps in any modern browser. Live sales, orders, tables, employees and stock read the same on a phone at home as they do on the tablet at the counter.
Does Tabres handle the kitchen and the stock room too?
Yes, both, and both are free. Once you accept an order it lands on the kitchen display of that branch, with each line at the station that cooks it. Stock lives in Manager: units of measure, stock levels for the whole business and per branch, low-stock alerts, purchases with the supplier invoice attached, and product ingredients that come off the balance as you sell.
Can I bring the menu I already have?
Import your current menu and pick the language. Tabres extracts categories, product names and prices into a working menu. It is offered during onboarding and any time after, under Menu → Products → Import.
How do guests find my menu online?
Your menu is a normal web page with its own short address, not a PDF or a picture. Put that one link in your Instagram or TikTok bio, your Google Business Profile and your WhatsApp, and print it as a QR code for the tables and the window. Change a price in Manager and every one of those routes shows the new one on the next tap.
Is my business data private and secure?
Tabres is GDPR compliant and hosted in the EEA. We set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of our own, menu analytics are cookieless and keep no personal guest data, and we never sell or share your data. Sign-in uses a one-time emailed code rather than a password, staff PINs are stored as hashes, and data in transit is encrypted.
Is Tabres POS available in my country?
Not everywhere. The POS resolves the applicable country when you sign in, and where it cannot be used it says so plainly: “Tabres POS is not available in your region.” The QR Menu and online ordering keep working either way. Message us and we will confirm your market before you set anything up.
