For cafés & bars

Entertainment for your café

Let guests play at the table, using their own phone.

A café runs on atmosphere. But on a weekday evening things can stay quiet, and on busy evenings groups sometimes leave sooner than you'd like. With TablePlay you put a QR code on every table that lets guests play instantly: a quiz, a reaction test, or a table-versus-table competition. No app, no hassle, no extra work for your staff. Just more experience, longer evenings and more revenue per table.

Why cafés choose TablePlay

Scan and play

Every table gets its own QR code. Guests play instantly in their phone's browser, no app or installation needed.

Table versus table

Let tables compete against each other in a quiz or reaction test. Instant atmosphere and a reason to stay.

Fill quiet evenings

Turn a slow Tuesday into a regular quiz night that your regular guests look forward to.

Reward winners

Give the winning table a round, a discount, or a free drink with coupons.

More than a game

More revenue and reviews, while playing

TablePlay is not just entertainment. While guests play, you build your revenue and your online reputation.

Calling staff, with a single tap

Guests tap 'I'd like to order' during the game. Behind the bar, a receipt with the table number prints out and staff head over. This way you never miss an ordering moment, without guests having to order via an app.

Directly boosts revenue

Building reviews

After a fun game, TablePlay asks for a review at the right moment. This way you effortlessly collect more positive ratings on Google and social, exactly when the experience is still fresh.

Why games work in a café

People come to your café for a good time and to share an experience together. A game at the table gives them exactly that: a reason to stay, order another round, and come back. It breaks the ice at the bar and turns a quiet evening into a fun one.

  • Fill quiet evenings with a recurring quiz night
  • Extend visit duration: guests having fun are more likely to order another beer or snack platter
  • Make your café stand out from the pub around the corner
  • Build reviews faster by asking at the right moment

From pub quiz night to spontaneous drinks

Are you currently organising a pub quiz with paper forms and manual scoring? With TablePlay, guests join in on their own phone and the system tallies the scores automatically. That way you turn every Tuesday or Wednesday evening into a regular quiz moment, without the hassle.

And at other times, the game is simply ready on the table for anyone who feels like it. A group of friends waiting for the next round can spontaneously play a game of Connect Four or a reaction test.

More revenue without extra work for your staff

While guests play, you build up your revenue. With a single tap they call staff when they want to order more, and behind the bar a receipt with the table number prints out. And after a fun game, you ask for a review at just the right moment, exactly when the experience is still fresh.
