Why Tableview

Built for restaurants that move fast without cutting corners

A casual dining POS needs to keep up with your busiest shifts. Tableview connects ordering, payments, scheduling, and loyalty so your team stays focused on guests, not on workarounds.

One-tap combos

Build meal deals and combo menus that ring up in a single tap, no mental maths for your servers.

Instant bill splitting

Split by seat, item, or custom amount in two taps so tables clear faster and guests leave happy.

QR table ordering

Let guests reorder drinks or add dessert from their phone without waiting to flag a server.

Smart scheduling

Build rosters from historical sales data so you have the right number of staff for every shift.

Built-in loyalty

Points, stamp cards, and spend-based tiers tracked automatically at checkout, no separate app needed.

Real-time stock alerts

Get notified when a key ingredient runs low before you have to 86 a dish during the lunch rush.

Use Cases

Real shifts, real scenarios

Saturday lunch, full dining room

Every table is taken and the waitlist is growing. QR ordering lets guests add rounds without flagging a server, while the combo builder speeds up order entry at the POS. Pay-at-table clears checks in seconds so the host can seat the next party before momentum stalls.

Weeknight family dinner

A table of six with three kids and two separate checks. Servers ring in children’s meals from the favourites bar, split the bill by seat, and the loyalty system adds points for both paying guests. Total time from dessert to departure: under four minutes.

Happy hour into dinner transition

The bar menu switches to dinner at 6 PM, and half the tables still have happy hour tabs open. Tableview handles the menu changeover automatically while open tabs keep their original pricing. Servers see the new menu instantly, no restart required.

Multi-location Monday morning

Your regional manager reviews weekend performance across three locations from one dashboard before the morning meeting. She spots that Location B sold 40% fewer desserts, drills into the product mix, and sends a targeted promo to that store before lunch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best POS system for casual dining restaurants?
The best casual dining POS handles high table turnover without slowing down service. Tableview is built for exactly that, with speed ordering, one-tap combo builders, instant bill splitting, and QR table ordering so guests can reorder without waiting for a server.
How do I speed up table turnover with a POS?
The fastest way to turn tables is to remove friction at every step. Tableview does that with a favourites bar that lets servers ring in popular items instantly, pay-at-table so guests settle up without waiting for a check, and automatic table status updates on the floor plan so the host seats the next party the moment a table clears.
Can I run combos and meal deals on the POS?
Yes. Tableview includes a combo builder that lets you create meal deals with fixed or flexible pricing. Servers select the combo, pick the included items, and the system calculates the price automatically. You can schedule combos for specific dayparts like lunch or happy hour.
Does Tableview support multiple restaurant locations?
It does. You can manage menus, pricing, and promotions centrally, then push changes to all locations or customise them per site. Consolidated reporting gives you a single view of revenue, labour, and product mix across every venue, and role-based access means each manager sees only the data they need.
How much does a casual dining POS system cost?
Tableview uses transparent per-terminal pricing with no hidden fees. You start with what you need, a couple of POS stations and a kitchen display, and add modules like loyalty, online ordering, or additional locations as your business grows.
Can guests order and pay from their phone at the table?
Yes. Tableview offers QR code table ordering that lets guests browse the menu, place orders, and pay directly from their phone. Orders flow straight to the kitchen display, and the bill closes automatically. It works alongside traditional server ordering, so you can use both depending on the service style.
