March product updates: Get ready for terrace season

2026 is off to a busy start. Our teams have spent the first few months focused on making Tebi more reliable, faster, and easier to use. We know how much of a difference it makes to save you even a few seconds per sale, so we’ve strengthened the Tebi platform, redesigned tables and tabs, and removed unnecessary taps across the product — and we’re just getting started. Plus, we’ve built some big Kitchen Display updates that will get your kitchen firing at the pace they need.

March means terrace season is upon us. We’re finally seeing the sun in our Amsterdam and London offices, which means covers are up, queues are forming, and every second counts. Here are some pro tips to make the most of this season:

• Get your outdoor seating dialed in: set up your terrace availabilities and highlight those experiences. Remember you can drag and drop tables during service as the extra chairs come out.

• Ditch the paper receipt run: let guests scan a QR code straight from your terminal and get their receipt without you running inside

• Stack up on terminals: more order and payment points means getting everyone their correct order and turning tables faster. Order terminals here.

Read on for what’s new this month.

New: KDS grouping

Grouping combines tickets for tables running at a similar pace, so you can prep courses or dishes in sync. Five pastas ordered at the same time? Fire them together. Your kitchen can prepare the same dishes across all orders at once, cutting down on back-and-forth and keeping prep efficient. Watch an explainer from David to see how these features work >

Visual course timers on prep stations

With visual course timers on your digital prep stations, every ticket gets a clear countdown so the kitchen fires on time and staff serve when it's hot. The kitchen and front of house stay aligned, and orders move through the pass with fewer "where are we on this?" moments. You can enable this feature in the App > Settings > Prep stations > Timers.

Gift cards on bookings + more on Reservations

We've released a batch of Reservations improvements to help you organise bookings easier and fill tables with confidence.

• Gift cards on bookings: Guests can now enter gift cards in the reservations widget (available for merchants with gift cards enabled).

• Seating priorities: Guide which tables fill first by setting seating priorities for your floor.

• Reservations troubleshooting: Identify and resolve booking issues in seconds with built-in troubleshooting.

• Quick-select allergies: Set pre-defined allergies and dietary restrictions that guests can easily select when booking. These are added to sales as notes and sent straight to your kitchen.

• Improved Reservations list: See enhanced guest details in the list view, including group size, visit count, and service type.
