Before you buy

The questions owners ask most

The ten a cafe owner asks before buying, answered straight. Got a different one? Ask the assistant in the bottom corner, or book a demo and put it to the founder.

Read this first. FillTables is live and proven in real daily service, with real card payments on live Stripe charges. You deal directly with the founder who built it, not a call-centre script. The price is $2,200 once, then free forever. Every answer below is straight, because earning your trust is the whole pitch.
1.What does FillTables cost?

A one-off licence per venue: $2,200 once, then free forever. Your first month is free, so you see it run before you pay a cent, and it is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. One licence covers unlimited devices and unlimited venues, with no monthly platform fee for the software itself.

2.Do you take a percentage of my sales?

No. FillTables takes 0% commission on dine-in, QR, online and delivery orders, by design. Every dollar a customer spends is yours. That is the whole point: you buy the platform once instead of renting it and handing over a cut of every sale forever.

3.What is included? Are there tiers or add-ons?

Everything is in the one price: point of sale, kitchen display, QR and online ordering, reservations, CRM, loyalty, marketing, reports and an owner dashboard. There are no higher tiers, no per-module fees and no per-terminal surcharge. If it is in the platform, it is included.

4.Who handles my card payments, and do I keep my own rate?

You bring your own card processor and keep your own rate, and FillTables adds 0% markup on top. Stripe is supported for Australia today, and cash and card tenders, split bills and receipts are all built in.

5.If my internet drops, does the till stop?

No. The point of sale and kitchen display keep working on your local network, so you can keep taking orders straight through an outage, and everything syncs automatically the moment you are back online.

6.Is a real cafe actually running this, or is it just a demo?

It is not a demo. FillTables runs full trading days in live service, with real customers paying on real card payments every day. What you see is the real platform, orders on the floor and tickets in the kitchen, not a mockup.

7.Do I have to re-type my whole menu to switch?

No. Photograph or upload your existing menu and FillTables reads it in for you. You confirm every item and price, then publish in one click. You are never stuck typing hundreds of items by hand.

8.Can I run it beside my current POS and try it first?

Yes, and we recommend it. Run FillTables in parallel with your current system on a real trading day, watch it handle your service, and only cut over once you are happy. Nothing is a one-way door, and there is one-click undo.

9.Who do I talk to when I need help?

You deal directly with the founder who built it, not a call-centre script reading tier-one steps. And because you own the software and your data, you are never locked out or left waiting on hold to run your own venue.

10.Do I own my data, and is there any contract or lock-in?

You own your software and your data outright, and there is no contract or lock-in period. You can export your data whenever you like, and if you ever walk away, everything you built stays yours.

That is the short list. For anything else, ask the assistant in the bottom corner for a straight answer, or book a live walkthrough and put your own questions to the founder.
