How Tably works
Every table interaction in Tably flows through one of three views. Here's what each one can do.
Guests reach Tably by scanning the QR code on their table — no app install, no account.
Scan the table's QR code to open the menu, grouped by category, right in the browser.
Add items to a cart, adjust quantities, and leave a note for the kitchen on any item.
Tap "Call staff" or "Checkout" to ping the floor instantly — no waving to get attention.
Review every order placed at the table this visit, with line items and totals.
Staff sign in to a shared dashboard that tracks every table and ticket in real time.
New orders land on the board instantly, with a notification the moment a guest checks out.
See every table's state — free, seated, booked, or finished — and print the bill at checkout.
View upcoming reservations alongside live table activity.
Look up dish details while serving, plus a closed-orders history for past service.
A bell icon surfaces pending "call staff" and "checkout" requests from guests, ready to resolve.
Admins configure the workspace and get the full picture across every table and shift.
Track revenue, top dishes, and busy hours over any period.
Set up the floor plan and organize the menu into categories.
Add, edit, and price every dish guests can order.
Browse, filter, and export order history, and manage upcoming reservations.
Add staff members or disable their access when needed.
Generate the QR code for every table — the link guests scan to reach the menu.
Configure the workspace's tax rate and currency.
Here's the full loop, start to finish.
Sign up and set up your workspace as the admin.
Add each table in your venue from the Tables panel.
Every table gets its own QR code the moment it's created — nothing else to set up.
Download the code and stick it on the matching table for guests to scan.
Scanning opens the menu — guests browse and place their order straight from their phone.
The order lands on the live board instantly, tied to its table.
Staff track it from New → Preparing → Served → Paid as service progresses.
