Underneath, a little. On top it speaks your building's language: units, tenants, shifts, event room, compliance flags. No setup, no renaming deal stages.

Narrative/Relationship Intelligence. A rule engine that notices what a good coordinator notices. Every score is the sum of named rules with visible weights. No machine learning, no black box.

Does it collect rent?

It can. Tenants pay by card through Stripe, with the building as merchant of record, or you mark cash and checks paid on the ledger. Either way you see paid, due, and overdue at a glance.

Yes. Ledger and applications export to CSV any time. We will never make leaving hard.

For landlords of buildings full of makers

The building runs itself.
Almost.

Six shops, a shared floor rotation, one event room, and one person keeping it all straight in their spare hours. Taberna does the noticing so that person can do the part only a person can.

A ceramicist wrapping a mug for a customer in a small brick studio — Six makers, one roof

A hand hanging an open sign in a shop window — Open, and the site agrees

Owner console

Tenants, applications, the shift + event calendar, rent and CAM status, compliance flags, announcements. On your phone, in the building.

Tenant portal

Each tenant edits their own storefront page, picks up shifts, sees their own ledger, and asks for the event room. Nothing else.

Public building site

A directory of your shops, a page per storefront, the public event calendar, and an application form. Search engines and AI assistants can read all of it.

Move-in to move-out

The walk-through that holds up.

Dated photos on every line, both signatures, and the move-out laid next to the move-in. Deductions tie to a line and a photo. The statement prints itself, and the deposit clock knows your lease, your policy, and your state.

The event room

Nights that fill the building.

Tenants request the room from their phone. You approve from the digest. The calendar, the public events page, and the door poster all update at once. Supplies get split by who booked.

Who it's for

You own a building. You didn't sign up to run one.

Taberna is for the owner with one or two buildings and no office. It's for the coordinator who does this on top of everything else and deserves a quieter phone. It's for the makers who just want to know the rent, the shifts, and who has the key.
