£0.70 + VAT per paid ticketNo monthly feePaid straight to your Stripe

Ticketing platforms sell tickets. They do not run your event.

With generic ticketing you pay a percentage on every ticket, the tables are not held so a restaurant booking can take one, and the kitchen still gets a spreadsheet of dietary emails.

Fees that grow with your ticket price.
Tables double-booked because tickets and bookings live apart.
Meal choices and allergies chased by email and group chat.

Questions, answered.

Can I sell tickets on Taybl Discover?

Yes. Events you publish appear on your Taybl Discover page automatically, so locals can find your event and buy tickets there, as well as through your own website and hosted ticket page. It is a free feature.

Is there a monthly charge for ticketing?

No. Ticketing is included for every Taybl customer. You pay £0.70 + VAT for each paid ticket, and nothing for free or complimentary tickets.

Is Taybl an alternative to Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor or Tonic?

Yes. You can sell tickets through your own website or a hosted page, with no monthly subscription. The difference is that Taybl Tickets is built into your restaurant system, so your tables, meals, kitchen and rota work from the same place.

Can I sell tickets without using my floor plan?

Yes. Choose general admission and you sell tickets against a total number of places, with no tables involved.

Can guests choose their own meals?

Yes. Attach a menu to your event and set a cutoff, and each guest chooses their dishes and lists any allergens from their own private link. Reminders go out to anyone who has not chosen, and your kitchen gets totals and a printable pack. Meal pre-orders need Taybl Bookings to be active.

How do restaurant bookings and event tickets avoid clashing?

When you publish a seated event, the tables you chose, plus the set-up and clear-down time you set, are held for it, so restaurant bookings cannot take them. If a booking is already in the way, Taybl warns you before you publish.

Who pays the fee, and when do I get paid?

You choose: absorb the £0.70 + VAT fee, or add it to the buyer's total, set per venue or per event. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account as tickets sell. Payout timing is set by Stripe, and Stripe's card processing fee is charged separately.

What happens to the fee if I refund?

The Taybl fee is returned for each refunded ticket, including if you cancel the whole event. Stripe's card processing fee is not returned.
