Features
Everything Tableside does, today.
No roadmap promises on this page. Every feature below is live and free to use.
For your guests
Ordering that feels like being looked after.
Guests scan, browse and order from their own phone, with a waiter they can ask anything.
Scan and order
A code on each table opens your menu in the browser. No app, no account.
Ask the waiter
Plain-language questions about any dish, answered from your menu. Guests add dishes straight from the answer.
Speak instead of typing
Guests can say what they want, which helps when typing on a phone is a chore.
Allergy care
Allergens shown as you list them. A dish that conflicts with a stated allergy is held until the guest confirms.
Menu translations
Offer the menu in other languages once you've approved the translations.
Dish photos
Upload your own, or generate photos for dishes without one and approve each before guests see it.
For your kitchen and floor
Every order, complete, the moment it's placed.
Tickets carry the guest's notes and choices, so nothing is lost between the table and the pass.
Live kitchen board
Orders appear instantly and move through preparing, ready and served. Guests see the status change too.
Ticket printing
Send tickets to a cloud-connected kitchen printer for a line that works on paper.
Busy mode
When the kitchen is slammed, add time to every estimate or pause new orders. Guests are told why.
Table requests
Guests can ask for the bill or call someone over, and staff get an alert.
Staff app
Tableside for Restaurants on iPhone and Android, with push alerts for new orders and requests.
Private feedback
Guests rate their meal once it's served. You hear about a problem while they're still at the table.
When you're ready
Get paid at the table, or keep your counter.
Guests pay at your counter as they do now. When you want more, we switch on payments, bookings and takings reports for your restaurant.
Pay from the phone
Guests pay by card when they're ready, with a tip if they choose.
Split the bill
Friends split a table's bill between them without anyone doing the maths.
Receipts and refunds
Email a receipt, refund all or part of a payment, and record cash.
Reports and day close
Sales, best sellers and payment methods, with an end-of-day close you can export.
Reservations
Take table bookings from the same page guests already use.
For getting started
Your menu, live in an afternoon.
Bring the menu you already have. Check it, print your table codes, and you're open.
Import your menu
From a photo or PDF of the menu, a link to it, or straight from Square.
Choices and sold out
Sizes, add-ons and spice levels. Mark a dish sold out for the night and it comes back tomorrow.
Staff roles and two-step sign-in
Give each person the pages their job needs, and protect accounts with a second step.
