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. Your ninety-year-old regulars use it the same week your teen guests do.
Pay-at-table, NFC-native
Every table turns twelve minutes faster.
Guests tap the table sticker, see their live check, split it, and pay — without waving for the server. Works with Toast, Square, Clover, and your in-house POS. No app, no QR hunt.

How it works
Live for dinner service in a single afternoon.
No rip-and-replace. No new hardware to learn. The same POS, the same kitchen workflow, minus the card-walk loop.
- 01Onboard
Connect your POS, import your menu, print stickers — in under thirty minutes.
- 02Stick
Peel and place one NTAG215 sticker per table. No power, no wifi, no recharging.
- 03Serve
Guests tap, split, tip, pay. Every action flows back to the POS you already run.
- 04Review
Turn times, attach rates, and tip averages show up in your TAPs dashboard the next morning.
What it does
Three things, done well. Nothing your servers have to remember.
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.
Toast, Square, Clover, or your in-house system.
Orders and payments flow back to the POS 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
The “aha” moment: watch 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 dead intervals at the end of the meal are where table-turn time quietly evaporates. TAPs collapses them.

That's twelve minutes back on every table. Over a Friday service, that's another full turn on every deuce.
From restaurant operators
GMs on what changed in the first month.
Three weeks in, our average four-top is out the door fourteen minutes faster. My servers stopped complaining about card runs the first weekend.
I was worried older guests wouldn't use it. The opposite happened. They love not waiting for the check. Our Sunday brunch turn is up almost twenty percent.
Integration with Toast was the part I expected to be painful. It wasn't. The wizard walked my assistant manager through it on a Tuesday afternoon and we were live for dinner service.
Pilot testimonials in rotation. We'll publish first real quotes the day our first pilot opens for service.

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?
Most restaurants are live within two business days. The wizard handles POS connection and menu import in about thirty minutes, and you can place stickers during a slow afternoon. We do a dry run with you before your first real service.
Does it work with my POS?
Yes, if you run Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, or most in-house systems. Orders and payments flow back to the POS you already use, so your kitchen workflow, reporting, and closeout don't change. Tell us your system on the intake form and we'll confirm the integration.
Will my guests actually use it?
In pilots, adoption is above 70% on the first visit and climbs from there. There's no app download, no QR code scan, and no account — guests tap and the check opens. Older guests pick it up as fast as younger ones, because it's faster than flagging a server.
What if something breaks during a Friday dinner service?
You get a real phone number that goes to a real person, not a chatbot. Response time is under five minutes during service hours, every day. Fallback to traditional payment is always one tap away, so a hiccup on our end never stops you from closing a check.
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.
