Is Tablio the same as TablioQR?

Tablio is the parent brand and restaurant operating system. TablioQR is the flagship product module (QR ordering, reservations, delivery) hosted at tablioqr.com. Operators and guests interact with Tablio; TablioQR remains the product name on billing descriptors and legacy integrations.

What is Tablio Discover?

Tablio Discover is Tablio's restaurant marketplace — verified reviews from completed orders, POS-synced live menus, online table booking, and scan-to-order at restaurants across Egypt and MENA. Guests browse without an app download; operators list once and connect their POS.

Does Tablio support online table reservations?

Yes. Tablio includes online table booking on Smart Ordering and Multi-Unit Pro with no per-cover fee. Guests book party size, date, and time from your Discover listing; requests are verified over WhatsApp. Hosts confirm, seat, and open the table order from Dashboard → Reservations.

How much does Tablio cost?

Digital Menu is free forever. Smart Ordering starts at EGP 1,499 per month per location — first 50 live guest orders free, then flat billing with 0% commission on food. Multi-Unit Pro starts at EGP 2,999 per location. Prices are set in EGP and configurable per market.

Which POS systems does Tablio integrate with?

Tablio integrates with Foodics (Egypt & MENA), Square, Toast, Lightspeed Restaurant, and Clover. Catalog sync and paid-order injection keep the POS as source of truth; additional POS platforms are supported through the pluggable connector layer.

How does Tablio orchestrate delivery without marketplace commissions?

Tablio runs commission-free direct delivery from your menu — zone validation, transparent checkout, POS order injection, then courier dispatch via your own in-house drivers or a third-party courier through a pluggable delivery provider layer.

How is Tablio different from Talabat or elmenus?

Aggregators like Talabat and elmenus charge high commissions and own the guest relationship. Tablio is your direct channel: guests order from your menu and pay you directly via Vodafone Cash, InstaPay, Paymob, Fawry, or card, you keep the meal margin, and any courier fee shows separately at checkout. Use your own drivers or a third-party courier for dispatch without listing on their consumer apps.

How is Tablio different from reservation-only apps?

Reservation-only apps charge per-cover fees and sit outside your ordering stack. Tablio table reservations are included on Smart Ordering with no per-cover fee and connect to the same POS-synced menu — book, sit, scan, order, ticket in your POS.
