Setting up and using Customer Tags

Customer tags help you label and recognize guests across Tabit products, ex. VIP, Allergy, Skip line.

You create a shared tag bank in Tabit Office, then apply tags to specific customer profiles. Once added, customer tags can be viewed anywhere that customer profile is used, ex. Tabit Guest and Tabit PAD

  Customer tags are customer profile labels. They are tied to the customer record, not to a specific order

Setting up the customer tag bank

Follow the steps below to set up customer tags:

  1. In Tabit Office, go to Back Office > Tags > General > Customer

     

  2. In the empty field at the top of the tag list, enter a tag name, then select the + icon to add it

  Best practice

Decide on a naming standard before adding a lot of tags, ex. “Allergy” instead of “Allergies”, “VIP” instead of “V.I.P.”. This keeps reporting and staff usage consistent

Adding customer tags to a specific customer

Follow the steps below to add customer tags to a customer:

  1. In Tabit Office, go to Back Office > Customer Info
  2. Search for the customer by name or phone number
  3. Select the customer to open their Customer Info page

     

  4. In Customer Tags and Notes, add or remove customer tags as needed

 

On the Customer Info page, you can also view key customer context in one place, including customer details, addresses, tags, notes, and order history

View and manage customer tags on Tabit PAD

Customer tags can be viewed on Tabit PAD in both customer-facing and seated service flows. What staff can do with customer tags depends on the order type

OTC and TD orders (customer-facing)

After entering the customer name or phone number, staff can:

  • View HQ tags (read-only)
  • View HQ notes (read-only)
  • Add and remove local customer tags

 

  Customer tag updates sync automatically to both the order and the customer record

Seated orders

For seated orders, customer tags are view-only on the PAD. Tags are automatically pulled from Tabit Guest when the customer books a table

  On seated orders, staff can view customer tags but cannot add or remove them from the PAD

Understanding HQ tags and local tags

  • HQ tags and notes are managed at the HQ level (if applicable) and are view-only for site staff on the PAD
  • Local customer tags are managed by the restaurant and can be added or removed by staff on OTC/TD orders (based on permissions)
