Tabbed is building a frictionless payments layer for hospitality that removes the most broken part of dining: closing the check. Tabbed connects diners and restaurants through a location-aware platform that automatically discovers checks, syncs directly with point-of-sale systems, and enables one-tap or fully automatic payment. No QR codes, no waiting for staff, and no disruption to existing restaurant workflows. For diners, Tabbed makes paying effortless. Open the app, dine as usual, and leave when ready—Tabbed handles the rest. For restaurants, Tabbed integrates directly into existing POS systems, ensuring checks are securely linked to guests and payments are captured reliably, even in fast-paced or high-volume environments. Under the hood, Tabbed solves complex coordination across location, payments, and POS systems to deliver a consistent, reliable experience across venues. The result is faster table turns, improved guest satisfaction, and a modern dining experience that feels seamless from start to finish. Tabbed’s goal is to become the default way people pay in hospitality—ambient, invisible, and trusted—while giving restaurants better insight into their guests and operations without changing how they work.
