Question 1

Does FairwayTab replace my POS?

Accepted Answer

It can. FairwayTab is a full POS — a counter register, every card path (scan-to-pay, Stripe Terminal, Tap to Pay, cash), a cash drawer with a Z-report, receipts, and inventory. Run it as your only point of sale, or keep your existing POS and run FairwayTab alongside it for lane and table ordering.

Question 2

Do guests have to download an app?

Accepted Answer

Never. They scan a QR code and order right in their phone's browser — no app, no account. An optional native app exists for guests who want it.

Question 3

How and when do we get paid?

Accepted Answer

Guests pay upfront through Stripe before the kitchen fires the order. Funds land in your own Stripe account on every order — you're paid before the food is made. No open tabs to chase, no walkouts.

Question 4

What hardware do we have to install?

Accepted Answer

Just your thermal printer. No on-site PC, no POS terminal, no tablet to babysit — the printer reaches our cloud over your internet connection.

Question 5

Which printers work with FairwayTab?

Accepted Answer

Star Micronics (CloudPRNT) and Epson (Server Direct Print / ePOS) thermal printers, natively over the cloud.

Question 6

Is our data and our guests' payments secure?

Accepted Answer

Every venue is fully isolated (multi-tenant with row-level security), and Stripe handles all card data — FairwayTab never stores card numbers.
