Our verdict
Tabin review
Best for venues that want self-ordering kiosks to shorten queues.
Last checked: 5 October 2026
Pricing
Tabin’s Complete Starter Pack is NZ$49 + GST a month as a limited-time offer (it was NZ$155 + GST). It includes a POS unit, printers, a Windcave terminal and online ordering setup. Tabin doesn’t publish a full price list or print a currency; it is a .co.nz site quoting “+ GST”, so we read its prices as NZ dollars. Treat these figures as a starting point and ask for a written quote.
