Problem
Many bars and restaurants rely on legacy point‑of‑sale (POS) systems that cannot directly connect to modern digital payment processors, forcing merchants to maintain outdated hardware and manual reconciliation processes.

By preserving the established POS workflow while adding modern payment capabilities, Tapitab reduces operational friction and lowers the cost of upgrading payment infrastructure.
