WHY “TABELLARA” (TAH · BELL · ARA)
From the Latin tabella, the small tablet Romans posted their notices on. A tabellarius was the courier who carried the written message. A tablet that carries the host's message to the guest.
A paper-like e-ink frame that follows the reservation: welcome on arrival, local events mid-stay, checkout tasks on the last morning, a turnover list for your cleaner. It just knows.
No link to open, no TV input to find. WiFi, door code and parking are on the wall the moment your guest walks in.
Connected to your booking calendar, it advances through the stay on its own, down to checkout tasks on the last morning.
Every QR is tracked per reservation: guide opens, review requests, direct-booking scans. Numbers a binder can't give you.
No wiring, no app for guests, nothing for your cleaner to charge.
Link your property management platform. Reservations, guest names and stay dates flow in automatically.
Battery-powered e-ink runs for months on a charge. Join it to your WiFi, claim it with a six-digit code, done.
The display knows where each stay is and shows the right screen in the property's own timezone, even on the checkout morning.
Scan analytics per screen, per stay. Update any property from anywhere; changes appear on the next wake.
No host can answer that. Tabellara can: every QR on the frame routes through a per-reservation link, so you know which stay scanned, from which screen, on which day.
Guide opens, review requests, direct-booking scans, all measured from the first install.
Both run the full experience: reservation-aware screens, remote management, scan analytics. Paper-like e-ink that belongs in a furnished room, not another glowing screen.
7.5″ e-ink display
Compact and quiet. Ideal for entryways, guest rooms, studios, and smaller spaces where the essentials should be at a glance.
10.3″ e-ink display
The flagship. A larger canvas with rich grayscale for across-the-room legibility, local recommendations, and the full guest journey.
New WiFi password, changed contact, seasonal tips: push to one property or your whole portfolio, live on the next wake. No visits, no favors from cleaners.
Many cities require a posted notice: permit number, contact, occupancy, quiet hours. While vacant, the frame is that placard, updated remotely when rules change.
Enter the farmers market and festival dates once a season; each stay only sees what falls within its own window. A printed sign can't do that.
The frame is yours, paid once at cost. The software is month-to-month: no contract, no minimum term, and cancellation is a button in the app, not an email thread.
Cheaper than tablet-based alternatives from year two, with nothing to charge and no lock-in.

Connect your calendar, hang the frame, and every stay gets the right message on the right morning.
