Pay-at-table, NFC-native

Guests pay the moment they're ready.

They tap the table sticker, see their live check, split it, and pay — without waving for the server or waiting on the card run. Works with Toast and Square. No app, no QR hunt.

How it works

Thirty minutes of setup. Live for your next dinner service.

No rip-and-replace. No new hardware to learn. The same POS, the same kitchen workflow, minus the card-walk loop.

  1. 01
    Onboard

    Connect your POS and import your menu with the guided wizard — about thirty minutes.

  2. 02
    Stick

    Stickers ship to you. Peel and place one per table during a slow shift — no power, no wifi, no recharging.

  3. 03
    Serve

    Guests tap, split, tip, pay. Every action flows back to the POS you already run.

  4. 04
    Review

    Turn times, attach rates, and tip averages show up in your TAPs dashboard from your first service.

What it does

Three things it does. Nothing your servers have to remember.

Tap to Pay

One phone tap. No app. No QR hunt.

The NFC sticker opens a secure browser session tied to the table's live check. Works on every phone sold in the last six years — if a guest can tap a card, they can tap the table. Nothing to learn, nothing to install.

Split & Settle

Four guests, four cards, zero server math.

Item-level splits, even splits, custom shares — the check closes when the last person pays, so nothing gets left behind. You stop losing money to “we'll figure it out” groups.

Works with your POS

Your POS stays exactly where it is.

Toast and Square are supported today — orders and payments flow back to the system you already run. Tickets still fire to the kitchen the same way. Reports still close out the same way. Setup is a wizard, not a migration.

Split in progress

Four people settle one check in two taps each.

Your servers stop running four cards to the POS and back. Your guests stop doing mental arithmetic on napkins. The check closes itself.

Table turn math

Same four-top. Same meal. Two very different closeouts.

The end of a meal is mostly waiting — for the check, for the card, for the receipt. Here's where those minutes sit on a typical four-top, and what happens when the check closes at the table instead.

Closed
The waiting blocks don't shrink — they disappear. The check closes at the table, and the table goes back into service.

Illustrative timings for a typical four-top closeout — a model of where the minutes go, not measured TAPs data. Measured numbers get published when the pilots do.

Pilots, not promises

Real quotes go here the day our first pilot opens for service.

Where things stand

We're pre-launch: nothing signed yet, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Here's what the first four restaurants get.

Frequently asked

The things GMs ask in the first call.

What does it cost?
Flat per-location monthly pricing with no transaction fees and no hardware to buy beyond the stickers, which we ship you. Pilots run free through our launch cohort — after that, we quote you a rate based on your volume before you commit.
How long does setup take?
The guided setup — POS connection and menu import — takes about thirty minutes. Stickers ship to you; place them during a slow shift and you're live for your next dinner service. We do a dry run with you before the first real one.
Does it work with my POS?
Toast and Square are supported today. Orders and payments flow back to the POS you already use, so your kitchen workflow, reporting, and closeout don't change. On something else? Tell us your system on the intake form and we'll give you a straight answer before you commit to anything.
Will my guests actually use it?
There's no app to download, no QR code to scan, and no account to create — guests tap the sticker and the check is just there. Fewer steps means more of the table actually pays at the table, and a tap is one step. There's nothing to learn: if a guest can tap a card at the register, they can tap the table. We're pre-launch, so we won't quote an adoption number until we've measured one.
What if something breaks during a Friday dinner service?
Your POS keeps working exactly as it did before TAPs, so the fallback is always there: servers can close any check the traditional way, mid-service, no reset needed. And you won't be filing tickets into the void — pilot restaurants get a direct line to the people who built the system.
What happens if we want to leave?
Month-to-month, cancel any time, no termination fee. We'll pull your data out in a clean export and peel the stickers off ourselves if you want. The point is to earn the renewal every month, not trap you in a contract.
