The math is simple

One upsell per server.
Every night.

A server who knows the menu sells more. Not because they are pushy — because they are confident. Here is what that looks like in real numbers.

Per server, per shift
$12
One bottle of wine.
One dessert. One cocktail.
Just 1 upsell per shift.
5 servers on floor
Per night
$60
5 servers x $12 avg upsell.
That is one shift.
One trained team.
Per month
$1,800
30 nights x $60.
From one small habit.

Built from
the floor up

After seven years in restaurants and three in beverage sales, I kept running into the same truth from both sides of the table: a team that knows the menu sells more — and takes home bigger tips — while a team that doesn't leaves money on every check.

In beverage sales I saw it constantly. I'd taste a manager on a wine they loved and were ready to buy — then hear, “but my servers wouldn't know how to sell it.” Great products never made it to the floor. Not because guests wouldn't order them, but because the staff were never set up to recommend them with confidence.

That's why I built Tablo — short, quick, well-timed education that actually fits a shift. Turn your menu into a three-minute quiz your staff take on their phone before the doors open. No binders, no long meetings — just a team that can speak to every dish and every pour.

Every server. Floor-ready.

Simple, honest pricing

Questions answered

You import your menu by pasting text or uploading a file. Tablo reads your actual menu and generates questions based on your dishes, allergens, pairings, and upsell opportunities — not generic food trivia.
Managers send a message with a restaurant ID and PIN. Staff download the Tablo app, tap "I'm a Staff Member", enter their ID and PIN, and they're in. They stay logged in for future shifts — no password required.
No. The staff experience is a single screen — open app, take quiz, done. It takes less than 30 seconds to figure out. Most staff complete their first quiz within 5 minutes of getting the message.
Yes. After Tablo generates questions, you can swap or regenerate any individual question before sending the quiz to staff. You're always in control of what gets asked.
After 7 days you'll be asked to subscribe to keep using Tablo. Your menus, quizzes and staff stay saved, so you can pick up right where you left off. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe — no hidden fees, ever.
Yes. Tablo is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Managers and staff use the same app on either, and a subscription covers your restaurant on both.
