How does TabX work?
TabX lets you open and close a bar tab from your phone. Find a participating bar in the app, open a tab before you order, then order from the bartender the way you always have. When you are ready to leave, close the tab from your phone instead of waiting in line to settle up.
Is TabX free for bar-goers?
Yes. TabX is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, and there are no in-app purchases. You pay for what you order at the bar, the same as you would if you handed over a card.
Do I order my drinks through the TabX app?
No, and that is deliberate. You order from the bartender, in person, exactly as you normally would. TabX only handles opening and closing the tab, so bartenders keep control of what gets poured and for whom.
What happens if I forget to close my tab?
TabX can close it for you automatically, so you are not leaving an open tab behind or coming back the next morning for a card you left at the bar.
Is my card information safe with TabX?
You add a card once in the app and use it to open and close tabs, so you never hand your physical card to a bartender or risk leaving it behind at the end of the night. See the TabX Privacy Policy for details on how your information is collected and handled.
What cities is TabX available in?
TabX is live in bars in Nashville, the San Francisco Bay Area, Brooklyn, Birmingham, Denver, Bend, Hartford, Austin, Memphis, Chicago, Eugene, New Orleans, Lafayette, and Philadelphia. The map on the TabX homepage shows every participating bar by city.
How do bars sign up for TabX?
Use the “I’m a Location” button on the TabX homepage, or email support@tabxapp.com. TabX works alongside your existing POS, so bartenders keep ringing drinks in the same way and simply spend less of the night closing out tabs.
What do brands get out of TabX?
Brands can promote a product in real time to people who are already at the bar, and only pay when someone actually orders it. TabX passes along one special per person, per day, per location rather than per drink, which caps the cost and gives brands real ROI data on the spend.
