TableSend is a web platform for hospitality, leisure, and entertainment venues.

They can also share a table link and send food or drinks with a personal message, including from elsewhere. Venue tools cover orders, open tabs, menus, offers, refunds, revenue analytics, and staff activity audit trails. Offers can use percentage or fixed discounts, multi-buy or meal deals, scheduled promotions, and redemption limits. Checkout supports cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Stripe and Stripe Connect. Standard table ordering has no TableSend service fee; gifts and bill contributions carry a 7.5% fee shown before payment. The venue plan has no setup or monthly fees.
