TabTap Point of sale for small bars
Service
-
Tabs, shifts, and reports without enterprise POS baggage.
Why
Built for community bars
TabTap started at Café Saarein: a small queer bar that needed reliable tabs, fair tip handling, and shift handovers — not a corporate POS contract. The Social Code built it as a web and iOS point-of-sale that fits how the guest-focused bartenders actually work behind the bar.
You keep control of products, team roles, and payments. Staff open and close shifts with a real registry flow. Owners get reports on revenue, hours, tips, and breakage without exporting spreadsheets from five systems.
TabTap is intentionally scoped for independent bars and cafés. If you run a small venue and want something you can trust on a busy Friday night, this is the system we use ourselves.
Features
Everything behind the bar
Order on the floor, close the night properly, and pay people fairly.
-
Fast ordering & tabs
Product groups, search, split payments, team tabs, and guest pay links — tuned for speed when the room is full.
-
Shift open & close
Start cash, end-of-shift checklist, safe counts, receipts, breakage, and tips — so nothing disappears between handovers.
-
Team, planning & payouts
Roles for owners, editors, bartenders, and managers; worked hours split by bar and management; tip reports and monthly payment summaries.
-
Payments that fit
Cash, pin, Stripe Terminal, SumUp, Mollie, and custom channels — with open-payment reminders when someone still owes a tab.
-
Web + native iOS
Browsers on fixed terminals plus a SwiftUI staff app on iPhone — same Firebase backend, same shift data.
