What is order management in Tabres?
It's one list for every order your business takes. However the order arrives, it becomes the same kind of order, with the same items, add-ons, notes and totals. You accept it, you change it if service changes, and everyone working that shift sees the same thing. It's part of Tabres, a Restaurant & Cafe Management Platform, and it's free on as many branches as you run.
€0
Monthly fee. There is no plan to buy.
0%
Delivery commission, on every order.
€0
Per channel, per order.
Order channels
Four ways an order arrives. One way to run it.
You turn each channel on or off for every branch. A small café that only serves at the table can turn the other ones off. A branch that delivers can set its own hours, fees and rules. You do not pay more for the channels you turn on.
Per branch, not per business
Dine-in, takeaway, delivery and guest ordering are switches on each branch. Your city-centre branch can deliver until midnight while the one at the station only does pickup.
Channel 01
QR menu order
The guest scans the code on the table, reads the free QR menu on their own phone, and sends the order. It arrives as pending and waits for you. Nobody in the kitchen starts cooking until someone accepts it.
- Photos, videos, add-ons and sizes, in the guest’s own language
- Guest notes and allergens stay on the order line
- Each QR code belongs to one table, so you know where to carry the order
Channel 02
Table order
A waiter opens the table and taps through the product grid. The bill total updates as items go on, so the number the waiter reads out is the number the guest pays. The floor plan shows which tables have an open order.
- Start at the table on a phone, tablet or computer
- Move the order to another table, or join two tables into one bill
- Every table has a name, seats, a shape, a place and a status
Channel 03
Delivery order
Take the order and add the customer. The address comes with them: street, house number, floor, post code and a note for the driver. Print one copy for the driver and keep the bill at the register.
- Your own delivery fee, minimum order and maximum distance
- Delivery hours can differ from the hours of the dining room
- You keep every cent of the order. We take no delivery commission
Tabres Delivery
Third-party Delivery apps take 10–30% of every order as commission. With Tabres Delivery, you use your own drivers and you keep all the money.
Channel 04
Takeaway order
Pickup needs no table. Open the order, add the guest’s name, take payment now or on arrival. Self-service counters work the same way.
- Called by name at the counter, not by table number
- Pay up front, or when the bag is handed over
- Started at the register, or by the guest on the QR menu
Guest ordering
Guests order without making an account
Scan, choose, send. No sign-up form, no password, no app to install. Most guests won’t make an account to order a coffee, and now they don’t have to.
You accept it first
A guest order stays pending until your staff accepts it. On a busy night, you decide what the kitchen takes on.
The note travels with it
Allergies and special requests the guest typed stay on the order, through the kitchen and onto the receipt.
Changing a live order
Service changes, and the order changes with it
Guests move seats, friends join, someone sends a dish back, and the delivery becomes a pickup. That’s a normal Friday. Tabres lets you fix it in a few taps and keeps a reason where a reason is needed.
Discounts, with a reason
A percent or a fixed amount, on one line or the whole order. Add why, for example “loyal customer” or “manager approval”.
Move a table, join two
Send the order to another table. If that table is already busy, the two orders join into one bill.
Remove a line, say why
Tabres asks for a reason before a line comes off, and keeps it with the order. A month later the record still makes sense.
Switch the channel
A dine-in can become a takeaway, or a pickup can become a delivery. Change the order type and the fees update with it.
Customers
Save the customer once. The address comes with them
Regulars shouldn’t have to spell their street every Friday. Pick the customer from your list and the order is filled in, or add a new one while you’re on the phone.
What the order carries
- Name
- Phone
- Street
- House number
- Floor
- Post code
- City
- Notes for the driver
A note like “Blue door, ring twice” saves the driver a phone call. It prints on the driver’s copy of the bill, along with the address.

Branch settings
Your delivery rules, your hours, your fees
Delivery rarely runs on the same clock as the dining room, so it gets its own week. Set the rest per branch and the order works the numbers out for you.
Maximum distance
5 km
Further than that, and the address is out of range.
Minimum order
€15.00
Enough to make the trip worth the driver’s time.
Delivery fee

Added to the order total, and it’s yours to keep.

Delivery hours
SEPARATE WEEK- Monday – Thursday
- 17:00 – 23:00
- Friday & Saturday
- 16:00 – 00:30
- Sunday
- Closed for delivery
Delivery hours are separate from opening hours. You set when your business day starts, so late-night sales land on the right day.

- Guest ordering Off
Every branch has its own set. Change one, and the guest menu for that branch changes with it.
Live on every device
Change it on one screen, and it’s changed on all of them
Orders, payments and balances are pushed to every device that’s open: the waiter’s tablet, the second register, the kitchen screen, the manager’s laptop at home. Nobody refreshes, and nobody rings up the same table twice.
One order, one truth
Add a drink on the tablet and the register shows it at once. The total everyone reads is the same total.
It catches up by itself
Wi-Fi drops in the cellar? When the device comes back, it reads everything again, so nobody works from an old screen.
The kitchen is on the same list
Once you accept an order, it lands on the kitchen screen of that branch, with each item at the right station.
Questions
Questions restaurants ask first
Do we need an internet connection?
Yes. Every device that takes or sees orders needs an internet connection, whether it runs the installed app or a modern browser. There is no offline mode, so a floor tablet, the POS and the kitchen screen all stay online while you serve.
Can guests order without making an account?
Yes. Guest ordering lets someone scan your QR menu, choose, and send the order without signing up and without an app. You turn it on for each branch.
Do QR menu orders go straight to the kitchen?
No. A guest order waits until someone accepts it. Only then does it reach the kitchen, and that is when the kitchen timer starts.
Can one branch do delivery while another does not?
Yes. Dine-in, takeaway, delivery and guest ordering are switches on each branch. Delivery also has its own hours, maximum distance, minimum order and fee, set per branch.
Can the delivery fee change with distance?
Yes. Instead of one flat fee, you can charge by distance band, for example €2.00 up to 2 km and €3.50 up to 5 km. The bands are set per branch, and the guest sees the fee before confirming the order.
Can I run several branches from one account?
Yes. Menu, tables, taxes, stations, employees, inventory and reports are all branch-aware, and one login covers every branch. Each one carries its own channels, hours, fees and prices, so a city-centre branch can deliver until midnight while the one at the station only does pickup. Filter any view to a single branch or to all of them. There is no fee for a branch.
Can we change an order after it is sent?
Yes. Add items, give a discount on one line or the whole order, move the order to another table, or switch it between dine-in, takeaway and delivery. When you remove a line, Tabres asks for a reason and keeps it with the order.
What does order management cost?
Nothing. There is no monthly fee, no fee for each branch, device or employee, and no delivery commission on your orders.
