Taberna

For antique malls, vendor markets, and maker collectives

Shifts, rent, repairs.
One page for the building.

A building full of small businesses that share a floor: dealers on shifts, booth or studio rent, a leak somebody has to fix, and a public page people can find. Taberna is those four things, on a phone, and nothing you didn't ask for.

Free until rent moves through it. No card, no trial clock.

See the demo as owner, coordinator, maintenance, or tenant.

The four things

Rent

One line per tenant per month. Card or bank if you switch it on; cash and checks marked paid. Shared bills split with the receipt attached.

Calendar

The floor rotation, run by the tenants. Can't make a shift? Open it; a neighbor covers for a rent credit and gets a text.

Repairs

Reported from a phone with a photo, assigned to whoever fixes things, tracked to done and confirmed by the person who reported it.

One page

A public site with a directory, a page per tenant, an Open Now board, events, and an application form. Search engines read it.

Everything else (e-sign, screening, move-in reports, insights, an event room, nightly rooms) is a module. Off until you switch it on, and off the nav until then.

01

Owner console

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

02

Tenant portal

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

03

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.

A Tuesday, handled

  1. 7:58

    The digest lands. Two approvals, one tap each.

  2. 10:15

    A Saturday shift opens. A neighbor covers it and earns a rent credit.

  3. 2:40

    Move-out photos, signed on a phone. The deposit clock starts on its own.

  4. 6:05

    Snow invoice posted once. Six ledgers get their share and the receipt.

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.

Tenants actually use it

The building only works if the tenants show up. So we made that the easy part.

Invites go by text as well as email. Logging in is a link, not a password. Open shifts and repair updates land as texts. And you can see, on your first screen, who has logged in and who hasn't, with a re-send button.

The whole price list

$0/mo

Pay as you go

No monthly fee. 1% of rent collected online, never more than Starter.

$49/mo

Starter

One building, up to 8 units. Everything included.

$129/mo

Building

One building, up to 30 units. Priority help.

$299/mo

Portfolio

Multiple buildings, one login. Up to 120 units.

A part-time coordinator runs $1,800–$3,500 a month where we've asked. Taberna doesn't replace that person. It gives them their evenings back, and covers for the building that doesn't have one yet.

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.

Questions we get

Is this a CRM?
Underneath, a little. On top it speaks your building's language: units, tenants, shifts, event room, compliance flags. No setup, no renaming deal stages.
Is there a score on my tenants?
There's a quiet nudge for you, the owner: named rules with weights you can see and change, so the morning digest knows what to mention. Tenants never see a number, theirs or a neighbor's. 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.
Can I leave?
Yes. Ledger and applications export to CSV any time. We will never make leaving hard.

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.
