VERDICT

Should I use Tabology?

Point of Sale & Management Suite for hospitality - tabology.com

Worth it. Buy if you run a UK pub, bar, restaurant or members' club and want POS, bookings, stock and payments in one system. Skip it for retail, market stalls or hotel use, and expect quote-based pricing rather than published rates.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~30 public sources; no pricing figures were published in the pages reviewed.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Guess: pricing is quote-based; budget demo time and negotiate hardware and card-processing rates.

medium

Guess: EPOS contracts can lock you in; check exit and data-export terms before signing.

low

iPad-centric hardware means upfront device spend alongside subscriptions.

low

Guess: ecosystem and support are deepest in the UK; US footprint is newer.
