Swipe, click, and feast.

With a vision to change the way customers dine out, Singapore-based startup TabSquare provides consumer engagement solutions to improve restaurant profitability and customer dining experience.

The idea is simple. With a customized digital menu on every table, customers can view dishes, place orders and pay their bills, without waiting for the waiter, and that is integrated into the restaurant's kitchen and billing systems.

In an exclusive interview with the Singapore Business Review magazine, founder Anshul Gupta revealed that TabSquare was started in May 2012 by three founding members who saw a possibility to change the restaurant industry forever using the tablet / touch technology that was revolutionising the consumer market.

Raising funds was easier with the backing of INSEAD entrepreneur/alumni network which helped connect to the right incubators and fund managers.

‘We presented to a number of incubators and while many were interested in investing, we went ahead with Get2Volume as we saw a great fit between their portfolio of companies & alignment of the vision for the company,’ he said.

Fast forward to 2014, TabSquare has resonated very well with the Industry leaders and over 100 restaurants and hotels in Singapore and other Southeast asian markets. Some of the big names which have launched our signed up for its products include Crowne Plaza, Cedele,and Nihon Mura Express among others.

TabSquare has grown its revenues by over 25 times in the past one year and is driving the rapid digitalization of the shopping & dining environment in the region.

Asked what makes TabSquare unique, Gupta said his startup’s architecture allows for easy integrations with multiple back-end system providers, as well as front-end services providers like reservations and reviews. This paves way for a unique industry platform that TabSquare partners can leverage to provide “never-possible-before” services to restaurants and its guests.

TabSquare is at the fore-front of innovation, partnering with innovative companies, utilising the latest technologies to further simplify the dining experience and making it more efficient.

‘Case in point, the mobile payment collection dongles, introduced for the first time in Singapore, and the latest mobile bluetooth printers both of which are already a part of TabSquare solution suite and allows the restaurant staff to generate bill, collect payments and issue credit card receipt right at the table,’added Gupta.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
