Overview
The inception of TabPref traces back to a serendipitous encounter at a bar, where founder Aaron Horne formed a genuine connection with his favorite bartender. When she unexpectedly left, Horne realized there was no straightforward way to track her career or stay connected with industry peers. This realization led him to sketch the concept of 'Find My Bartender' on a cocktail napkin. Over time, through extensive conversations with various stakeholders in the hospitality industry, Horne identified common gaps: professionals lacked a centralized career hub, establishments operated with multiple disconnected systems, vendors faced challenges in aligning with venues, and consumers struggled to follow their favorite spots and people. This feedback culminated in the creation of TabPref, a platform that serves as a dedicated career hub for hospitality professionals, a modern business hub for establishments, and a direct connection for vendors and consumers.
