We saw many….then came to believe!
It’s been fantastic! We’ve gone through many POS systems over the years and by far, this has been the best.
PROSEase of use, and the customer support experience. Our Sales Rep. [sensitive content hidden] was fantastic, explained everything, was clear and upfront and very honest. Great working with him.
CONSHaven’t found anything yet that we don’t like to be very honest.
Reason for choosing Skytab POS
Our rep [sensitive content hidden] made all the difference. He took his time explaining the product, addressed our concerns and showed us this was the right solution for our business.
Reasons for switching to Skytab POS
OTF was very limited in its capabilities. It was great for our first year but we wanted something more advanced and a little more user friendly.

New Launch
I've enjoyed working with [sensitive content hidden] and have enjoyed the system. As with any big technology upgrade, you learn new things every day.
PROS[sensitive content hidden] has been our rep since day one. He was very patient as we slowly came to our decision to bring on SkyTab. [sensitive content hidden] is very responsive when I've reached out, and almost always has a solution. He's been on sight many times to make sure things are going smoothly.
CONSSome moderate quirks that are being worked out. The favorites screen omits an entire row unless you page over and back. Not sure why that's happening, but we need our favorites screen to be in-tact. Also, we can't make it default to the favorites screen and not the departments. A lot of the reporting is slightly difficult to sort through as well. When trying to print reports or transfer payroll to QuickBooks, it's a bit finicky.
Reason for choosing Skytab POS
I liked the fact that everything is so customizable. Also, having the customer facing displays will help us a lot more when they arrive. Being cloud based and having an app as well were some deciding factors.
Reasons for switching to Skytab POS
Needed an upgrade as PosiTouch was no longer being supported.

Do NOT buy this system
I would rather skydive without a parachute then go to work today and use this system.
PROSNothing. Absolutely nothing about this system is user friendly
CONSEverything absolutely everything. I hate how long it takes to cash a customer out I hate the process of putting in an order I hate that orders disappear I hate everything down to the size of the font. The only way to fix this system is throw it out and start over. Whoever created this has never worked in a restaurant and it shows.

Great system, but still developing
Installing the system was great. Purchasing and getting questions answered from our sales rep [sensitive content hidden] , was fantastic! When we initially launched we had to go back and fix a lot of the developers things they done with the menu for like 3 days. Then when I need just certain things from a daily report it gives me too much information and there is no way to tailor it to what we need and customer support does not help much as they don’t seem knowledgeable.
PROSOur sales rep [sensitive content hidden] was excellent! I also like how I can track everything and access it at anytime! I like how it seems very futuristic and looks very slick. I also like how it is easy to use.
CONSCustomer service can improve, when I call several times they seem not as knowledgeable and have to follow up everytime keeping me hold for a long time. I also do not like that they do not involve the sales rep and others when developing the menu for your resturant, the developers need to observe how a restaurant is run before they build it out. Every restaurant has different modifications and its import to tailor it similar to how it was on a previous platform. I also think the reports it gives you can get super confusing and it gives you al lot of excess information.
Reasons for switching to Skytab POS
They went out of business and stopped supporting us when there was an issue. It also had a lot of glitches where we lost a lot of data.

Best New POS for Mexican Restaurants
We liked the cost and features. The upfront cost was basically free. We only pay a low monthly fee and get all the hardware and software included. Toast charged us for every single little thing and their contracts are predatory. Constant rate hikes and they force you to buy their hardware and software.
CONSStill waiting for them to update their software and training website to Spanish.

Five Stars!
I highly recommend this system to anyone who is looking into POS systems for their business/establishment.
PROSWe recently opened a restaurant and we have been so pleased with the how easily we’ve been able to navigate our Skytab POS. The registers are super easy to learn, our team has had no issues learning it. Our employees who have worked at other restaurants have mentioned that this is the easiest one they have ever used! I also love that it helps keep track of employee time locks, and generates reports on sales etc. Our reps ([sensitive content hidden] / [sensitive content hidden]) have been beyond amazing. They have been so helpful and thorough with any questions we’ve had arise.
CONSAny con I have is that I wish I was able to completely remove a menu item that is not needed, instead it only allows you to inactivate it. But this is a minor personal preference.

Hello Joaquin, we're so happy to hear that you are loving your SkyTab POS and the ease of use. Thank you for your detailed review. We look forward to continuing to work together!

Customer Support A+
Very favorable - from the initial sales call, thru setup and training - it's been a great experience. I continue to have some features I would like to have, and they seem to update the system every week or so,
PROSThe customer service. All of the reps are very knowledgeable and they can log into our system remotely and see/fix the problem we are having. Also the reports available on the Lighthouse portal are user friendly and helpful
CONSModifers! We have a large menu with extensive modifiers, it's awkward but we have gotten used to it. Delay in processing credit cards. After you select cc you have to wait until it connects to the reader, Only about 5 seconds but seems like a long time when we are busy.

SkyTab POS is a Game-Changer!
I have been using SkyTab POS for my business, and I am highly impressed with its features and functionality. Firstly, the user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through different functions. With its handheld device, I can take orders and accept payments from anywhere in my establishment. This has significantly improved the efficiency of our operations and reduced wait times for customers. Plus, the device's built-in card reader ensures secure and swift transactions. Another aspect I appreciate is the robust reporting and analytics. SkyTab POS provides detailed insights into sales data, inventory management, and customer preferences.
CONSThere has been occasional challenges with their customer service and tech support. While they generally provide good support, there have been instances where response times were slower than expected or where certain issues required follow ups.

Pleasant. Complete. Efficient. Trusted.
PROSShift4 and Skytab is our Point Of Sale and Credit Card Processor. [sensitive content hidden] is our specialist there. They maintain our registers and give us support. The registers are easy to learn and we get a call back on problems quickly. They understand what we want in a system and are able to do exactly that. Changes and support are fast and complete. I've worked with 4 other POS systems and this is by far was the easiest to learn and maintain. The other three systems paled in comparison. First rate POS and support all around.
