A: TABL Portal has a $0 monthly software option. Instead of a monthly subscription, a service fee is added based on order size, with a minimum of $0.35 and a maximum of $1.00. For a side-by-side estimate against other POS systems, use the pricing calculator at https://tablportal.tabl.page/calculator. Q: How do Stripe payments and fees work? A: TABL Portal uses Stripe for card-present payments through the Stripe WisePOS terminal. Operators can create a Stripe account or connect an existing one, and payouts typically go directly to the operator's bank account the next day. Stripe's U.S. in-person pricing was 2.7% + $0.05 per successful domestic card-present transaction when this page was updated on April 2, 2026, but rates can vary by country and card type, and TABL does not set those fees. Q: How much is invoicing? What are the fees? A: TABL Invoicing is 2.9% + $0.30 per invoice payment with no monthly invoicing fee. Square Plus is 2.9% + $0.30 plus a monthly subscription, Square Free is 3.3% + $0.30, Clover is commonly around 3.5% + $0.10 for keyed or online invoices plus monthly software costs, and Toast typically has monthly contracts or software fees plus processing costs. TABL also has a small 1% customer-paid service fee on the invoice itself. Q: What hardware do I need, and can I use Stripe? A: TABL works on any tablet with a browser, so no special tablet is required. Operators can connect an existing Stripe account, and if hardware is needed, TABL can provide up to two tablets and one Stripe WisePOS terminal with a qualifying six-month contract. Q: Can you help me switch, set up, and go live? A: Yes. The TABL team helps with onboarding, account setup, menu build or import, and the switch from your current POS. Timing depends on the operator's setup, but the focus is on getting trucks live quickly without turning setup into a DIY project. Q: Can I update my menu anytime? A: You can update your menu anytime in the portal. If preferred, the support team can make changes for you. Either way, updates sync in real time across the POS and digital menus. Q: What do real-time analytics include? A: TABL analytics show sales totals, top items, and performance trends as orders happen. The dashboard updates as orders come in, so operators can make decisions quickly. The insights help plan menus, staffing, and busy periods for a food truck. Q: How does support work? A: TABL includes 24/7 U.S.-based support from a team that understands food-truck operations. Operators can reach out anytime for setup, changes, or day-to-day questions. Q: Are there any contracts? A: No long-term contracts are required for the software. Hardware can be provided for free with a six-month contract, including up to two tablets and one Stripe WisePOS terminal. Q: How do QR ordering and delivery work? A: TABL can launch digital ordering and QR menus tied directly to the POS with no extra software fees. Customers can order from a link or QR code, every update stays synced with the POS in real time, and delivery orders can be routed through DoorDash when delivery is enabled. Q: Is KDS included? A: KDS is included with TABL. Operators get a clear kitchen screen view built for prep and handoff without paying for a separate KDS product. Q: How do updates and feature requests work? A: There is no upsell for future improvements. Every feature update and new release that TABL ships is included at no extra software cost, and the team responds quickly to feature requests. Q: What if I don't need all the features TABL provides? A: Most TABL features are opt-in. During onboarding, the TABL team learns how the business runs and helps turn the right tools on or off so the setup starts clean. There is never a feature upsell; future feature updates and releases are included at no extra software cost. Q: Can I run TABL at events or multiple locations? A: Yes. TABL is built for trucks that move between regular service and one-off events. Operators can use event-specific menus and review event-specific analytics afterward. Q: What happens after I request a demo? A: After requesting a demo, the TABL team follows up with next steps and helps the operator figure out whether the product is the right fit for their truck. Q: What if I need internet for my truck? A: TABL does not require perfect internet to run. It performs reliably on a phone hotspot, and TABL can also point operators to a lower-cost connectivity partner if a dedicated setup is preferred. --- ## Testimonials — https://tablportal.tabl.page/#testimonials All quotes are verified five-star reviews from active operators. - Bearded Hogs (Jesse S.): "We started using TABL about a month ago, and we absolutely love it.
