About GoTab POS

The GoTab is more than a point-of-sale (POS) system. GoTab helps restaurants, breweries, food halls, hotels, and other venues improve the guest experience and address substantial inefficiencies that continue to plague the hospitality and retail industry. Featuring a sophisticated POS that can optionally integrate with other popular POS and property management systems (PMS), GoTab also includes a robust bar and kitchen display system (KDS) with integrated two-way messaging to optimize operations and delivery. GoTab’s platform empowers every guest and staff member to make the most sensible, convenient choices for their scenario while maintaining appropriate controls.

GoTab creates measurable benefits for its operators, driving increased spend while reducing operating costs. GoTab operators’ guest spend per labor hour (SPLH) of $83 is 84% above the industry median. Moreover, GoTab operators spend an average of 14% less on labor than standard industry benchmarks typically adding an additional 4% to the bottom line.

Founded in 2016, GoTab processes over $500M in gross merchandise value (GMV) annually with operations across 39 U.S. states, Canada and growing.

    Pros:
    GoTab’s point-of-sale (POS), kitchen display system (KDS) and entire restaurant commerce platform helps us server our guests better and run our business more profitably than ever. Instead of requiring us to purchase or lease proprietary hardware on a single operating system, we have the flexibility to run everything in a Windows environment with the hardware we choose.
    Cons:
    It’s still a developmental platform and the hardware can be better. With that said, they have continuously improved the system, the functionality, and listen to feedback.

    Reasons for choosing GoTab POS

    Integration of QR code dining as well as traditional POS functionality.

    The GoTab POS Is Great For Affecting Labor Costs & Efficiency Of The Guest Ordering Process

    It also allows our Service Team to take care of a strong flow of traffic in a large venue. Once guests understand how to order on and navigate the GoTab POS it is convenient for speeding up the ordering and delivery process. It also can positively affect labor costs.

Once guests understand how to order on and navigate the GoTab POS it is convenient for speeding up the ordering and delivery process.
    Cons:
    The system needs to be made much cleaner for the end user. It's functionality is difficult for some guests to use, especially without a thorough explanation. Also, reporting functions for the Management Team could be enhanced.

    Pros:
    The POS itself does everything you want it to and sometimes more. Support has been great. They have chat, Call, and email, and 99% I get a quick response, and phone support is almost always answered or a quick call back. We mainly use it for the POS and the KDS (food truck) and for that purpose it is great. I also like the east of Hardware. I was largely able to use my previous hardware (tablets) and the new CC readers they have are much more affordable. This is very useful when doing off-site events
    Cons:
    We have had some issues with the credit card machines freezing up. A quick reset always fixes it but shouldn't happen. Support has been very receptive to helping us fix this.

    The flexibility of what the system can do is incredible. There is no other system out there that allows you to really customize the set up can change things on the fly. It is prefect for venues that offer more than just meal service. I would suggest to any brewery that is often pivoting their service model.
    Cons:
    We still run into daily hiccups that sometimes can not be explained. If development stays at the same rate that it has been on I would imaging things smooth out sooner than later!

    Pros:
    I enjoy the fact that GoTab gives you optionality in your operating model. With all of the challenges surrounding the pandemic as well as labor challenges, GoTab allows us to pivot from a labor lite model to a full service model anytime necessary. This has been instrumental in managing costs while still being able to deliver a great guest experience.
    Cons:
    In the beginning there were certain features which are necessary for basic restaurant operation that either did not exist or were a bit clunky. As of today, all of these basic features now exist plus a plethora of new "nice to have" features that allow you to use GoTab for a diverse number of operations.

    Reasons for choosing GoTab POS

    Customer service was critical when choosing our POS. GoTab delivered on the timely and responsive customer service.
