We build the one account a venue runs on, for the places the big platforms forgot.

TapTime is a small team in Sofia building one platform for cafés, restaurants, salons and clinics: the QR menu, the ordering, the kitchen screens, the bookings, the loyalty card and the marketing, in the languages, currencies and payment rails of 15 countries most software treats as an afterthought.

What is TapTime and who makes it?

TapTime is a subscription platform for hospitality and service businesses that puts the QR menu, online ordering, kitchen and hall displays, table reservations, appointments, loyalty cards, promotions and ad conversion tracking into one account per venue. It is built by a small independent team based in Sofia, Bulgaria, and sold per module and per location in 15 countries and 12 languages.

The café that paid for six tools

TapTime began in the back office of a twelve-table café in Sofia's Lozenets district in the winter of 2024. The owner, a friend of our founders, showed us her monthly invoices: a QR menu builder, an ordering app that took a cut of every order, a reservation widget priced per cover, a loyalty punch-card app, a site builder and a Google Ads freelancer whose reports never matched the bookings on the board. Six tools, six logins, six invoices, and not one of them knew that the guest at table four had a loyalty card.

The two of us who started the company had spent the previous decade building payment and booking systems for other people. We knew the problem was not that these tools were bad. It was that each of them was built for a market where a venue can afford a developer, an agency and a second manager to glue them together. In Sofia, in Tbilisi, in Almaty, the owner is the developer, the agency and the second manager.

So we wrote down what one account would have to do for that café: open the menu from a code, take the order and the payment, show the ticket in the kitchen, call the number in the hall, book the table from Instagram, stamp the card at the till, and tell Google which ad brought the guest. Then we wrote down the rules we would not break: no commission on orders, no per-cover fee, no setup fee, no contract, and every screen in the owner's own language before it is in ours.

The first version ran in that café in spring 2025 with a menu, a floor plan and a stamp card. The kitchen display came that summer, because the chef kept asking why the order was on the waiter's phone and not on the wall. Appointments came when a barber two streets away asked whether the same booking page could work for chairs instead of tables. Conversion tracking came when the first owner started buying ads and wanted the truth about them.

By 2026 the same account was running in Georgia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the western Balkans, each with its own currency, its own banks and wallets, and its own language on every guest page. That is still the whole idea: one platform, built from the venue outward, for the markets where nobody else bothered to localise.

How we got here

A short history, told honestly. Dates are the months a feature reached a paying venue, not the months we announced it.

  1. The idea is written on the back of a café invoice in Sofia: one account instead of six tools.

  2. First venue live with a QR menu, a floor plan and a digital stamp card. Bulgaria is the launch market, priced in euro.

  3. Ordering with card payment on the phone, then the kitchen and bar displays and the hall board on a TV in the dining room.

  4. Appointments for salons, barbershops and clinics. Georgia opens in Georgian and English, priced in lari.

  5. Local payment providers for Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan; the dashboard and guest pages reach 12 languages.

  6. Campaign attribution, server-side conversions for Google Ads, Meta and GA4, webhooks, postbacks and the REST API. Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan join the map.

What we will not do

Rules we wrote down before the first line of code, because a platform is only as trustworthy as the things it refuses.

No commission on your sales

Orders are paid through the payment provider you connect, and the money goes to your account. We charge per module, per location, per month. Your busiest night does not cost you more.

Your guests are yours

Names, phone numbers, bookings and stamps belong to your business. Export everything, row by row, whenever you like. We never sell, share or market to your guests.

Local first, not translated later

Every guest page and every dashboard screen ships in 12 languages, prices show in your currency, and payments run through the banks and wallets your guests actually use.

No lock-in, no contract

Every module is monthly, starts with 14 days free and no card, and can be switched off in the dashboard. When you pause, nothing is deleted.

Say what it does, and what it does not

Every marketing page carries a list of what TapTime is not. If a feature is not built, we do not sell it, and the help centre says so.

A person answers, in your language

Support is a person who writes back in the language you wrote in, from the same inbox the founders read. The help centre is written by the people who built the screen.

Where we work

One account, priced and localised per market. Each row is a country where TapTime is sold today, with the languages of its guest pages and dashboard.

A small team, close to the venues

We are engineers, designers and former venue managers based in Sofia, with colleagues in Istanbul, Almaty and Tashkent who know their markets' banks, wallets and habits better than any spreadsheet.

01

Founders who built payments and bookings before

The two founders spent ten years on payment gateways and booking engines for other companies before starting TapTime. The rules above are the ones they wished those products had.

02

People who have run a service

Several of us have managed a floor, a bar or a salon reception. It shows in the details: the sold-out toggle is one tap, the hall board shows numbers only, the specialist sees only their own day.

03

A local in every market

Every country we sell in has someone on the team who lives there, reads the language natively and has connected the local banks and wallets themselves.

04

Support that reads the code

The people answering [email protected] are the people who built the screens. A question about the delivery log is answered by someone who wrote the delivery log.

Questions people ask about the company

Where is TapTime based?

The company is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, with colleagues in the other markets we sell in. Support answers in the language you write in.

Who owns TapTime?

TapTime is independent and owned by its founders and team. It is not part of a payment company, a delivery marketplace or a point-of-sale vendor, which is why it charges no commission and connects to the payment provider you choose.

Which countries can I use TapTime in?

TapTime is sold with local pricing, languages and payment providers in 15 countries: Bulgaria, Georgia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Moldova, plus an international edition in English priced in US dollars.

What does TapTime actually sell?

Four subscription modules, per location: a QR menu with ordering and kitchen, bar and hall displays; table reservations with a floor plan; digital loyalty cards; and appointments for service businesses. Attribution, conversion tracking, webhooks, the public page, reports and exports come with them.

How do you make money if there is no commission?

Only from monthly subscriptions, per module and per location, billed by card. There is no cut of orders, no per-cover fee, no setup fee and no paid onboarding.

Can I talk to a person?

Yes. Write to [email protected] or use the contact form in the help centre. The people who answer built the product and reply in your language.

Do you have a partner programme?

Yes. Agencies, consultants and resellers who bring venues to TapTime earn a commission on every company they refer, managed from one partner dashboard. The partner page explains the terms.

Built from the venue outward.
