ClubTab – Help & Guide

How to run your club's hospitality with ClubTab: start a session, add guests & orders, settle up, track expenses & the debt book, and review your figures. All screenshots are from the app (example data, US dollars).

1Getting started (setup)

On first launch you set a 4-digit admin PIN. It is your master PIN: use it to reset forgotten co-admin PINs and change protected settings.

  • Enter the admin PIN twice (set & confirm).
  • Pick your language via the flag at the top right.
  • Then tap Add examples for example categories and items in your language – or Start empty.
Good to know: the example data (e.g. Drinks, Beer 0.3 l) can be changed or removed anytime in Settings.

3Start a session

Tap Start Hospitality and fill in:

  • Host (required) – who runs the evening. Configured names appear as suggestions.
  • Occasion (optional) – e.g. Club evening; add a new one via +.
  • PIN for this session (optional) – protects the session with a swipe pattern.

Tap Create to open the overview.

Good to know: the occasion is optional – without one, the session is simply tracked by its date.

Via the menu → Expenses you record host costs, e.g. restocking. Each expense has a description and an amount.

12Settings (currency & language)

Settings is where you manage the master data:

  • Club Name, Manage Items, Manage Categories (with VAT rates).
  • Manage Regulars and Manage Occasions.
  • Manage co-admins – their PIN unlocks admin actions.
  • Export / Import Data and Export sessions (CSV of a date range).
  • Currency (e.g. US-Dollar ($)) and Language selectors.
Good to know: change the currency under Settings → Currency (e.g. US-Dollar) – it applies to every amount in the app, including the PDF report. “Co-admins” are co-administrators; their PIN unlocks protected actions, while the co-admin list itself needs the admin PIN.
