Do Dubai restaurants accept Apple Pay at the table?
With Tabz, any Dubai table can. The guest scans the table QR, the live bill opens in the browser, and Apple Pay, Google Pay and card sit right inside it — no terminal, no app, AED 0 diner fee.
PAY AT TABLE — DUBAI
Dubai pays at the table.
Tabz is rolling out across Dubai: guests scan the QR standing on the table, see the live bill under the venue’s own branding, split it, tip the team and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card in the browser. No app, no hardware, AED 0 diner fee.

The home studio
Engineered down the road.
Tabz is engineered and operated by VSPR, a Dubai software & systems studio. For a Dubai venue that means the team behind the browser checkout, the venue-branded live bill and the payout rails is local — the product is built, run and answered for in the same city it serves.
Dubai is a rollout city: Tabz is launching here venue by venue, alongside its founding launch network in Al Jada, Sharjah. Launching — said truthfully — means the network is growing now, not that every corner is live yet. Joining is fast precisely because there is nothing to install.

Around town
From DIFC to City Walk.
Dubai does not dine one way, and pay at table earns its place differently on every block. Six dining patterns, six reasons the table should be the checkout:
DUBAI — AT THE TABLE
Datelines are illustrative — the receipt idiom, not a live feed.
DIFC
Business lunches run on the clock, and the slowest part is the goodbye. When the bill settles in the browser, the table is back in the elevator before the coffee cools.
JBR
Beachfront tables, big walk-in groups, one card machine doing laps of the terrace. A QR per table lets every group split and pay at once — no laps.
Dubai Marina
Waterfront dinners that stretch late into the evening. The dinner can run long; the goodbye no longer has to.
Business Bay
Canal-side cafés squeezed between meetings. The order is quick, so the paying should be quicker — scan, tip, gone.
Downtown
Dinner timed to a fountain show waits for no card machine. Guests settle from the table and make the show.
City Walk
Open-air dining built for strolling on. Paying at the table keeps the evening moving — out of the seat and back on the boulevard.

Questions, answered
Which Dubai areas does Tabz serve?
Tabz is rolling out across Dubai — venues from DIFC and Downtown to JBR, Dubai Marina, Business Bay and City Walk can join now. It is launching city-wide rather than live on every corner yet, and onboarding runs venue by venue because there is nothing to install.
Can diners split the bill at a Dubai restaurant?
Yes — evenly, by item, or by custom share. One guest scans the table QR and the same live bill opens for the whole table; each person pays their own part and tips from their own phone. No app needed.
What does it cost a Dubai venue?
