Tabski started as a mobile ordering platform for restaurants in 2021. Today, it's a payments and operations platform with the full capabilities of a payment facilitator — engineered for the most demanding corner of hospitality. Enterprise mixed-use developments, flagship food halls, and multi-vendor venues where dozens of operators and a shared guest experience all have to work under one roof.
The Evolution
Three chapters. One architecture.
012021 · Founded
Mobile ordering, built by operators.
Tabski launched as a mobile tab and ordering platform for restaurants — a simple way for guests to open a tab, order, and pay from their phone without waiting on service. Built by a team that had sold POS and payments to restaurants for a decade, it was shaped by what operators actually needed, not what incumbent vendors wanted to sell.
02The Pivot
A different architecture for multi-vendor venues.
The fastest-growing segment of hospitality wasn't individual restaurants — it was food halls, mixed-use developments, hotels, and breweries. Venues where dozens of operators, a shared guest experience, and complex settlement had to work in concert. Those environments didn't need a better restaurant POS. They needed a fundamentally different payments and tenant architecture. So Tabski rebuilt the stack.
03Today
Enterprise payments infrastructure.
Tabski now operates with the full capabilities of a payment facilitator — delivered through a modern FBO and sponsor bank architecture that powers sophisticated multi-tenant payments, settlement, and reporting. The platform is engineered for the largest, most complex food-and-beverage developments in the country: flagship food halls, enterprise mixed-use projects, hotel F&B programs, stadium operators, and entertainment districts.

Venue Complexity
What a complex venue actually looks like.
The Block in Jacksonville, Florida is one example of the kind of venue Tabski is built for — a multi-vendor food hall and entertainment destination where independent operators, a shared guest experience, unified payments, real-time settlement, and automated rent collection all have to run under one roof. It's the sort of operational complexity that generic restaurant POS systems were never designed to handle, and exactly the environment Tabski's architecture was engineered for.

Jon Grayem
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Jon Grayem is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tabski, the company he founded in 2021 to build the definitive operating system for modern food halls and multi-vendor hospitality venues. Jon conceived and designed the entire Tabski platform, translating over a decade of firsthand operator and payments experience into a purpose-built product that no incumbent POS vendor had attempted. He previously served as President of TableCrunch (ADSZY LLC), a software platform that gave SMBs true marketing attribution by connecting offline card-present transactions — captured through the payment network — back to the email and social media campaigns that drove them. The company was acquired by Inc. 5000 honoree TRNXN. Jon was also a top-tier Channel Partner at Upserve (formerly Swipely, acquired by Lightspeed), ranking among the highest-performing resellers of the restaurant SaaS platform. Earlier in his career, he managed community banking centers for merchant processing — giving him direct, ground-level fluency with how payments, banking, and high-volume merchant operations actually work. A member of CoCard's President's Club, Jon's understanding of where payments, POS, and hospitality operations converge is the foundation on which Tabski was built. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the Trulaske College of Business at the University of Missouri.
