TabForge is an open source point of sale system built for restaurants. Web-based, runs on any device, and costs nothing. No vendor lock-in. No monthly fees draining your margins.
You're paying $100-300/month for software you can't modify, running on hardware
you don't own, locked into a payment processor that takes an extra cut.
Your margins are already 3-9%. Every dollar matters.
TabForge puts you back in control. Self-host it on a $5/month server
or a spare tablet. Choose your own payment processor. Customize everything
from the menu layout to the receipt format.
Not a generic retail POS with a "restaurant mode" bolted on.
Drag-and-drop floor plans that mirror your actual restaurant. Assign servers, merge tables, track course timing.
Real-time order routing to kitchen screens. Priority queuing, course firing, and modifier highlights so nothing gets missed.
Categories, modifiers, combos, time-based pricing. Build your entire menu from a browser. Update it from your phone.
Split by seat, by item, by percentage, or custom amounts. Tip pooling and individual tip tracking built in.
Web-based. Works on iPads, Android tablets, laptops, even a Raspberry Pi. No proprietary hardware required.
Self-hosted means your sales data, customer info, and financial records never leave your servers.
Every restaurant is different. Your POS should reflect that. TabForge gives you the source code so you can bend it to fit your operation, not the other way around.
Modify the code to match your exact workflow. Add integrations your vendor would charge extra for.
Features built by restaurant operators who actually use POS systems every day, not enterprise product managers.
Switch payment processors, hosting providers, or hardware whenever you want. Your data exports cleanly.
TabForge is the POS system restaurants have been waiting for. Free, open, and built to last.
