TrueTab POS

Catches it
before it costs you.

The restaurant point of sale that watches every shift with you, and tells you while there's still time to fix it.

Book a demo
The TrueTab register: table 2's ticket laid out like a printed receipt, $113.63 to pay, and Server-1's meal-break countdown in the header.

Restaurants lose money one shift at a time. A meal break that starts late. Overtime nobody planned. A void no one approved. Tips split by guesswork. TrueTab speaks up during the shift.

Under a minute

See a whole shift.

From the register to the owner's phone, every screen in the film is TrueTab, running a demo restaurant.

Try it

Run the register
yourself.

This is the real TrueTab register, running in your browser with a demo restaurant mid-service. Seat a table, ring it in, send it, take the money. Nothing is charged, printed or kept.

Break Watch

Meal breaks, counted down on the till.

  1. 7:39 PM

    Thirty minutes before Server-1's deadline, the register says so, with the time to take it by.

  2. 7:48 PM

    Server-2 is past theirs. Every manager's register shows it in red, counting until the break starts.

  3. 7:48 PM

    Your phone hears about it too, with the premium it costs.

A server on a meal break can't ring orders. Managers hear before anyone goes into overtime. At clock-out everyone is asked if they got their breaks, and the answer is kept.

Server-1's register, with the notice: Take your meal by 9:46 PM. You've worked 4 h 33 min. It has to start before 5 hours.
On the manager's register: Server-2 is 5 min past their meal deadline. Due 9:13 PM, counting until their break starts.

Approve voids
from anywhere.

Table 2 sent back a dip. The server asks for the void and says why. You tap Approve on your phone, and the register does the rest within a minute.

Every request has a reason.

The server says what happened before it reaches you.

Your managers get it too.

Whoever answers first, the register hears.

A server asks, with what happened; you answer from here. The till does the void within a minute.

A PIN still works.

A manager at the register can approve it there instead.

Message every screen.

From your phone to every register and the kitchen.

Most POS systems need a manager to walk over and key in a code or swipe a card.

7:50 PM

Internet down?
Keep serving.

TrueTab runs on a small box in your restaurant, so orders, kitchen screens, printers and the time clock keep working without the internet.

The TrueTab kitchen screen with tickets from Server-1's tables 2, 4 and 5. The voided trout dip on table 2 is marked cancelled.
01
Cards keep going too.

Add the optional cellular backup, and card payments run while the restaurant's internet is out.

02
Tickets print if a screen goes quiet.

A kitchen screen that stops answering hands its tickets to the station's printer.

03
PINs never leave the building.

Staff PINs live on the box. A backup every night, kept on the box and off it.

10:58 PM · Last check closes

Tips split fairly.
To the cent.

Tip-outs are worked out shift by shift, so the lunch busser doesn't share the dinner server's tips. Each tip follows whoever held the check when it closed.

Who takes home what: each person's tips on their checks, what they paid in and received, held aside, and what they take home.

Catch the void
that needs a look.

From the couch, you look over the night. Till Watch flags the patterns behind most till losses, each with the whole story, minute by minute.

The owner's Watch page in the back office, listing flags such as One approver for most of one server's voids, Timecard edit that lowers pay, and Menu price changed and changed back.
Owner only
Only you see it.

Managers never see the flags, and nobody is told they were flagged.

Your pace
Right away, daily or weekly.

Choose for each kind of flag.

A void after the kitchen saw it.
A paid check reopened, then voided.
A cash refund by whoever took the cash.
A tip raised after close.
A manager's PIN used off the clock.

Most POS systems give you a void report to read yourself, or a loss-prevention add-on you pay for separately.

For owners

Run it without
living there.

Most owners can't step away because the restaurant needs them: for every void, every number, every message to the team. TrueTab sends those to your phone, so you can be home for dinner, at your other place, or actually off.
