The wifi password
The first thing anyone with a laptop asks, and the reason the card taped to the table exists. Change the router password and the tab is right an hour later — the card is wrong until somebody prints another one.

A café menu barely moves, so the piece isn't really about the menu. It's about the fact that the same table has to answer four different questions across a day — and right now each one is a different scrap of paper taped to it, starting with the wifi password.

One table, one day
None of these needs a new piece of furniture. They need the piece already on the table to be pointing at the right thing at the right hour, and you to be able to move it without printing anything.

The first thing anyone with a laptop asks, and the reason the card taped to the table exists. Change the router password and the tab is right an hour later — the card is wrong until somebody prints another one.
10:00 a.m.
Photographs of the pastries that exist today, not the eight you've made at some point. The queue moves faster when the person at the front already decided at the table.
3:00 p.m.
Origin, roast date, price, and how to order more without coming back. The customer who liked the cup is standing right there — that's the one moment they'll buy a bag.
5:30 p.m.
Point the tabs at your review page for the last hours of the day. It costs nothing, it's reversible tomorrow, and it asks at the only time a person is inclined to say yes.
To be clear about what the product does: nothing here rotates on its own. You change the destination when you decide to, from your phone, and it takes about ten seconds. What's unusual is only that doing it never costs anything.
The card it replaces
It's the smallest object in the café and the one that's out of date most often, because changing it means printing, cutting and taping one for every table.
You edit the page the tabs point at. Every table in the room is right from that moment, including the two in the corner nobody would have remembered to re-tape.
A page can carry the network name and password as text a phone can copy, rather than as eighteen characters printed at six point on a card at the edge of the table.
A customer who taps for the password is already on your page. Whatever else is on it — the case, the beans, the review link — gets seen by somebody who came for something else.
The piece
It sits on a table that gets wiped between every customer and holds somebody's laptop for three hours at a time. It has to last years, because the point isn't buying it again.
It doesn't warp, the print doesn't lift, and it never gets the clouded look a taped card has by the second month — assuming the card is still on the table by then.
Every 12 tabs comes with one programmed spare, so the replacement is behind the counter before anybody notices a table is short.
A chip that won't read, lifted printing or a bad cut: replaced at no cost, and the replacement carries the same code, so nothing needs setting up again.
What everyone asks
It's the reason to have one. You update the page the tab points at and it's correct from that minute — no reprinting, no tape, and no customer reading a password that stopped working in March.
Yes, and most cafés do. The tab points at one address, and that address can be a single page holding the password, the case and the beans. We sell the pointer; the page behind it's yours.
No. They hold their phone near it and it opens in the browser. If their phone has no NFC, the QR is printed on the same piece and goes to the same page.
Yes. Every tab is programmed on its own, so the counter can point at the beans while the tables point at the wifi and the case.
It's acrylic. Coffee, milk, a damp cloth forty times a day, somebody's laptop pushed against it. It wipes down and keeps going, and it comes with 90 days of warranty if it doesn't.
One per table plus one for the counter is the usual answer, and every 12 comes with a programmed spare. Message us with your table count and we'll be honest about whether you need fewer.
