Tabundle Pitch
1. Tabundle
patent pending
Chuck Svirk & Matthew Valich
2. 4 Problems
Patrons opening and closing a tab multiple times on
the same card
Unnecessary charges in fixed credit card fees
Wasted efficiency closing the batch at the end of the
night
Multiple receipts per patron
Restriction of sales on smaller priced menu items
3. The Solution
Tabundle’s software
Seamless integration through the POS API
Software identifies credit/debit cards that have been swiped
more than 1 time
Patent Pending algorithm initiates the aggregation of
transactions
The latest transaction waits in a queue until the end of the
night to be processed
Result:
1 transaction per patron = 1 fixed fee
Transactions are processes as one at a later time
designated by the merchant
4. The Solution Process
MICROS Flowchart: Aggregated Charges Before
Batch
Patron orders
Merchant swipes card and performs preauthorization
Software detects card in MICROS system
Software closes previous sales ticket to $0.00 cash
Software adds items from first sales ticket to new sales
ticket with latest order
Software leaves sales ticket open in MICROS
5. Case Study: Symphony 8
$850,000 in 2010-2011 revenue
87% from credit/debit sales
WorldPay (Payment processing company)
1.5% of sale + 32¢ per transaction
3,200 credit/debit transactions per month
$30,000 in credit/debit fees
$12,288 in fixed fees
Average cost per month = $1,024
6. Case Study: Symphony 8 cont’d
2.5 transactions per patron using same card
3,200 / 2.5 = 1,280 patrons per month
If there was 1 transaction per patron
1,280 patrons * 32¢ = $410
Difference in amount saved = $614
$614 * 12 = $7,368 annually
