Correct sale

Mistakes happen. If the wrong sale has been paid for, now easily move payments to the correct sale. Or perhaps a tip was forgotten. It is now easy to adjust tip amounts after a sale has been closed.

Reporting moves to the back office

Access reports directly from your Back Office without having to go to Tools, giving faster and more efficient access to your numbers. Hint: you can now also send links to reports with specific date ranges.

Light mode

The Tebi app is now available in light mode, a brighter color palette which can help reduce glare in sunny situations. Go to Settings > Preferences > Appearance to choose the theme that best suits your way of working.

Tebi Reservations

We are very excited to announce our last big launch of the year - Tebi Reservations.

Reservations is included for free in the Tebi subscription cost.*

What’s included:

  • Complete daily agenda. Always be ready for the day ahead with a full daily agenda and timeline of upcoming reservations.
  • Share info between reservations and POS. Customer notes about allergies and preferences are sent automatically to your kitchen, reducing double work and possible mistakes

  • Quick setup. Add the Tebi reservation widget to your website, designed to maximize your covers without overwhelming your business.
  • Reservation prepayments. Reduce no-shows by asking for prepayments and setting automated cancellation windows.
  • Waitlisting. Ensure you’re always at the right capacity with a waitlist that works in house and online.
  • And plenty more to help you plan, optimize and manage your reservations

*If you are using Tebi for free and want to use reservations, starting from January 2024 there will be a fee of €0.20 per reservation. Otherwise, Tebi Reservations is included in the cost of a Tebi subscription!
