Tabern

My websites

Every venue you own, in one place: create, manage, visit, and delete your websites.

Video walkthrough coming soonThe written steps below cover everything in the meantime.

My Websites sits at the top of Account Settings and lists every venue website you own. To open Account Settings, select your initials in the top-right corner of the Tabern site, or your name in a venue dashboard’s user menu.

The websites list

Each website gets a card with its logo, name, web address, and tagline. Websites with a subscription also show a billing badge: Active, Trial, Canceling, Past Due, Incomplete, or Canceled. A website with no subscription has no badge. From every card:

  • Manage — open that website’s dashboard.
  • View Site — open the public site in a new tab.
  • Trash icon — delete the website (see below).

If you just signed up with the form on the Tabern homepage, the card may show Finishing website setup with a progress bar while Tabern sets up your site and imports your menu. It finishes on its own.

Create a website

  1. In Account Settings, select the + button beside My Websites (or Create Website if you have no websites yet).

  2. Enter a Restaurant Name. The Subdomain fills in from the name; edit it if you like. Tabern checks availability as you type.

  3. Once the subdomain shows as available, select Continue.

  4. Review the details. What happens next depends on the billing panel (below).

Subdomains use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, with at least 3 characters. If one is taken you’ll see That subdomain is taken. See Subdomains & URLs for how web addresses work.

The panel at the bottom of the dialog tells you how the new website will be covered:

  • Free website unlocked — your account has a device order or an active card and hasn’t used its free website yet. Select Create Website. No billing needed.
  • Billing ready — you have a paid subscription that isn’t attached to a website yet, for example from checkout on the Pricing page, or one left over after deleting a website. Create Website attaches it.
  • Each website needs its own subscription — choose Monthly or Yearly, then select Add Billing & Continue to pay in Stripe checkout. You come back to the same dialog with your details saved; select Create Website. If billing is still syncing, wait a few seconds and select Check Billing Again.

Delete a website

Select the trash icon on the website’s card, then Delete Website to confirm. This permanently removes the website’s menus, settings, and data. There is no undo. If you only need the site offline for a while, unpublish it instead (see Publishing).

  • Billing — deleting a website does not cancel its subscription. The subscription keeps billing and shows up as Billing ready for your next new website. If you don’t need it, cancel it from Manage Billing. The delete dialog reminds you of this, or shows the end date if the subscription is already set to end.
  • Cards — cards that opened the deleted website show as Active · not linked. Pick a new venue for them in Orders & cards.
  • Free website — if you delete your free website, you can create a new one as long as your account still has a card or a device order that hasn’t been refunded.

Switching between venues

One login reaches all your websites; there are no separate passwords per venue. To switch, go back to Account Settings and select Manage on another website’s card.
