Every Rent Model Food Halls Actually Use
Food halls use a range of rent structures depending on vendor size, concept type, and deal terms. Tabski supports all of them, configurable per vendor, per stall, or across the whole hall.
Percentage of Gross Sales
The most common food hall model. Tabski automatically calculates a set percentage of each vendor's gross sales and deducts it at batch.
Percentage of Net Sales
For halls that base rent on net rather than gross, meaning after taxes, comps, or refunds are removed. Tabski calculates net automatically from transaction data.
Flat Rate Recurring
Fixed monthly, weekly, or daily rent regardless of sales volume. Automatically deducted on your chosen schedule with no invoicing required.
Hybrid (Base + Percentage)
A base rent floor plus a percentage kicker above a sales threshold. Common for anchor vendors. Tabski handles the tiered logic automatically.
Platform Fees
Charge vendors a percentage of digital orders processed through your QR or online ordering system. It runs separately from rent and is applied per transaction.
Convenience Fees
Pass a small fee to guests who order digitally or get delivery. Revenue flows to the operator automatically with full transaction reporting.
Deducted at the Source Before the Money Ever Moves
Tabski's split funding architecture deducts rent and fees at the payment processing level rather than after the fact. When a guest pays, the transaction is split in real time. The vendor receives their net amount and the operator receives rent and fees in a single atomic settlement.
This means no chasing payments, no float, and no "we'll settle at month end." Operators get their cut on the same day the sale happens, whether that's daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule you configure per vendor.
Every vendor sees exactly what was collected, what was deducted, and what they netted, all in a clear itemized statement they can access any time from their vendor dashboard.
Know Which Vendors Are Struggling Before They Miss Rent
Tabski's operator dashboard gives you a live birds-eye view of every vendor's sales performance, including gross, net, tips, and utilization, all in one place. Color-coded health indicators flag vendors whose sales are declining so you can intervene early instead of dealing with a missed payment down the line.
Export vendor-level or hall-wide reports to CSV for your accountant, investors, or lender. Everything is already reconciled so there's no manual consolidation required.
Everything Built Into Rent Collection
Daily Automated Remittance
Rent is collected every day at batch close with no waiting for monthly invoices. Your cash flow stays steady and predictable regardless of how many vendors you operate.
Split Funding Architecture
Rent is deducted at the payment processing level rather than reconciled after the fact. Each transaction is split in real time between the vendor's merchant account and the operator's account.
Per-Vendor Statements
Every vendor receives an itemized statement showing gross sales, rent deducted, platform fees, tips, taxes, and net payout. Transparent, auditable, and accessible any time.
Configurable Per Vendor
Each vendor can have its own rent structure with different percentages, schedules, and fee types. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. You configure it once and it runs automatically from that point forward.
Hall-Wide Reporting
One dashboard showing total rent collected, vendor-level performance, and hall-wide gross sales. Everything exportable to CSV for accounting or investor reporting.
Dispute-Ready Audit Trail
Every transaction, deduction, and settlement is logged with timestamps and order-level detail. If a vendor disputes a charge, you can resolve it in minutes rather than days.
Turn Digital Ordering Into an Operator Revenue Stream
Beyond rent, Tabski lets food hall operators charge platform fees on digital orders, a percentage applied to every QR, online, or delivery order processed through your system. Guests can also be charged a small convenience fee that flows directly to the operator.
These fees are configured separately from rent, applied per transaction, and reported independently so you always know exactly what's coming from rent versus platform revenue. Many operators find that platform fees alone cover their entire Tabski subscription cost.
Tabski vs Manual Rent Collection vs Generic POS
Most food hall operators are still collecting rent manually or using a POS that wasn't designed for multi-tenant settlement. Here's how the approaches compare.

Food Hall Rent Collection: Common Questions
How does automated rent collection work in a food hall?
Tabski's rent collection works at the payment processing level using split funding. When a guest pays a vendor, the transaction is split in real time. The vendor receives their net amount and the operator's rent and fees are deposited separately in the same settlement. There is no invoice, no manual calculation, and no waiting for the vendor to pay. It happens automatically every time a sale processes.
What rent structures does Tabski support?
Tabski supports percentage of gross sales, percentage of net sales, flat rate recurring on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, hybrid base and percentage models, platform fees on digital orders, and guest-facing convenience fees. Each vendor can be configured with a different structure and once it's set up it runs automatically without any manual intervention.
What's the difference between percentage of gross vs net sales?
Gross sales rent is calculated on total revenue before any deductions. Net sales rent is calculated after taxes, voids, comps, and refunds are removed. Which one you use depends on your lease agreement with each vendor. Tabski calculates both automatically from transaction data so there is no manual number-pulling required.
What happens if a vendor has a slow month? Do they still owe rent?
That depends on your rent structure. With percentage based rent, vendors pay proportionally to their sales so a slow month means lower rent. With flat rate or hybrid structures, a base rent floor applies regardless of sales. Tabski enforces whichever structure you've configured per vendor and flags vendors with declining sales on the operator dashboard so you can address issues proactively.
Can vendors see what rent was deducted and why?
Yes. Every vendor has access to their own statement showing gross sales, rent deducted, platform fees, tips, taxes, and net payout broken down by day, week, or month. Transparent statements dramatically reduce vendor disputes and go a long way toward building trust between operators and their tenants.
What are platform fees and how are they different from rent?
Platform fees are a percentage charged on digital orders, whether that's QR ordering, online pickup, or delivery, processed through your food hall's system. They are separate from rent and applied per transaction rather than as a periodic deduction. Many operators use platform fees to offset the cost of their technology stack and some find that platform fees alone cover their entire monthly Tabski subscription.
Does Tabski integrate with accounting software?
Tabski's reporting exports to CSV from any date range, vendor, or hall-wide view and is compatible with QuickBooks, Excel, and most accounting platforms. For deeper integrations, contact the team to discuss your specific workflow.
