What does “that's all” mean?
"That's all" means "nothing more" or "nothing else." People use it to finish an order, answer a follow-up question, or say that the reason is simple and there is nothing more behind it.
When people say it
- After ordering or asking for something: "A tea and a sandwich, that's all."
- When someone asks if you need more: "No, that's all, thanks."
- To say the reason is simple: "I just needed your signature. That's all."
- To end a short update: "That's all for now."
Tone: It is neutral and common; by itself it can sound a little short, so "thanks" often makes it warmer and more polite.
