SkyTab POS:
For Restaurants & Bars
All-in-one restaurant tech, backed by Turnkey’s local service
SkyTab is a next-generation restaurant POS platform
that gives you professional-grade hardware, powerful software, and integrated payments with zero upfront hardware cost and plans starting around $29.99 per month per terminal.
With Turnkey as your local SkyTab partner, you get that technology combined with hands-on installation, training, and support from a team that actually knows your business.
Let’s get you started.
Why Restaurant Owners Are Choosing SkyTab
Serious value: $0 upfront, lifetime hardware warranty, and built-in tools
Most POS platforms make you choose between powerful features and reasonable pricing. SkyTab is built differently.
- Zero upfront hardware cost with simple monthly pricing around $29.99 per terminal, which includes software, professional-grade equipment, installation, and 24/7 support.
- Lifetime warranty on hardware, so if a SkyTab device fails due to normal use, it gets replaced.
- Free built-in features many systems charge extra for, including online ordering, marketing and loyalty tools, contactless solutions, a reservations and waitlist platform, and a website builder.
That combination gives SkyTab a clear edge against platforms that require separate app subscriptions or high upfront hardware purchases just to reach the same level of functionality.
Restaurant-first platform, not a generic POS
SkyTab is designed from the ground up for hospitality. The core system covers the entire guest journey:
- Flawless first impressions with integrated online ordering, reservations, and a website builder so guests meet your brand before they ever step inside.
- Smooth, fast service through mobile ordering, QR code solutions, and tableside payments that keep servers in the section instead of stuck at a terminal.
- Built-in loyalty and marketing that keep guests coming back without bolting on yet another tool.
Integrated online ordering and delivery that actually protect your margins
Third-party ordering marketplaces are convenient, but their 15 to 30 percent commissions can quietly erase your profit. SkyTab Online gives you:
- A fully integrated online ordering site that pulls directly from your POS menu, supports separate online pricing, images, and dayparts, and has no setup, monthly, or per-order fees.
- A DoorDash Drive integration so you can access DoorDash’s driver network for a low flat fee per order instead of a large percentage of your ticket. A comparison table in the SkyTab Online brochure shows a 60 dollar order where the flat fee preserves far more revenue than a typical 30 percent third-party fee.
- Mobile-friendly ordering and support for Apple Pay and Google Pay, which makes reordering quick for guests and keeps your brand front and center.
You keep control of your customer data, your menu, and your margins, while still offering the convenience guests expect.
Hardware built to take the heat
SkyTab’s hardware lineup is purpose-built for restaurants, not repurposed consumer tablets.
- SkyTab POS workstations act as your front-of-house command center with a sleek, commercial-grade design, built for busy shifts and backed by that lifetime warranty.
- SkyTab Air is a rugged handheld that lets staff take orders and payments anywhere, with fast ticket management and tableside check splitting and tipping.
- SkyTab Glass is an eight-inch tablet that mirrors your workstation interface, speeds up ordering accuracy, and lets servers split checks and accept EMV, contactless, and swipe payments right at the table.
- Kitchen Display System (KDS) connects front and back of house, routes tickets across prep stations, displays real-time item status, and pulls in third-party orders from the POS so the kitchen sees one unified queue.
- Self-ordering kiosks let guests order and pay by themselves with clear on-screen prompts, digital receipts, and SMS updates, freeing staff to focus on hospitality.
SkyTab hardware is designed to be the last thing you worry about during a dinner rush.
Data, Reporting, and Business Intelligence That Actually Get Used
SkyTab includes Lighthouse Business Manager, Shift4’s online back-office platform. It is not an afterthought; it is where your real profit work happens.
- Comprehensive reporting and analytics give you detailed views into sales, labor, menu performance, discounts, voids, and more, with the ability to schedule reports, customize time frames, and export data.
- SkyTab Business Intelligence adds customizable dashboards, granular filters, and multi-location comparisons so you can drill into specific menu items, shifts, or locations and actually turn data into action.
- InCharge mobile app puts a live snapshot of your restaurant in your pocket, letting you view performance stats, edit menus, and manage staff from your phone, even when you are away from the building.
For many operators, these built-in tools replace the need for separate third-party reporting platforms, which cuts both complexity and monthly software spend.
Workforce Tools That Keep Every Shift On Track
Labor is one of your biggest costs and one of your biggest headaches. SkyTab Workforce is a scheduling and labor management tool that integrates directly with your POS.
- Build weekly schedules in minutes, push changes instantly, and collect confirmations from staff through a mobile app.
- Track timecards, control overtime, and export payroll reports to streamline back-office work.
- Use built-in guardrails to help stay compliant with federal, state, and local labor regulations.
Because Workforce and your POS are connected, you are not manually reconciling time, sales, and labor; it is all part of the same system.
Customer Experience Tools Built In, Not Bolted On
SkyTab gives you a suite of tools to keep guests engaged before, during, and after their visit.
- Collect email addresses and build customer profiles at the table, then use Lighthouse to send targeted email campaigns and offers.
- Run loyalty programs and marketing offers directly from the platform so your promotions connect to real ticket data.
- Monitor online reviews and reputation inside Lighthouse so you can respond quickly and protect your brand.
An independent hospitality survey ranked SkyTab at the top for customer satisfaction, with a 4.29 out of 5 score and 93 percent of customers saying they had no plans to switch providers, ahead of major competitors like Toast and Square. That kind of stickiness only happens when the day-to-day experience for both staff and guests actually works.
How SkyTab Compares To Other POS Options
Turnkey sells and supports multiple platforms, including Clover and OrderCounter, so we are not locked into a single solution. That puts us in a unique position to be honest about where SkyTab fits best.
In general:
- Choose SkyTab when you want a restaurant-first system with built-in online ordering, reservations, marketing, and analytics, where the pricing is simple, hardware is covered by a lifetime warranty, and everything from ordering to delivery lives in one ecosystem.
- Consider other platforms when you are a mixed retail concept, heavy on specialized third-party apps, or already deeply invested in an existing environment. In those cases, Clover’s broad app marketplace or OrderCounter’s specific configurations may make more sense.
Why Get SkyTab From Turnkey
SkyTab’s technology is powerful. The real difference is what happens after the boxes show up.
Turnkey is a service company first and a technology company second. We call that philosophy Remarkablism: constantly looking for better ways to support our business partners.
When you work with us for SkyTab, you get:
- Local, hands-on installation and menu build-out, not a “good luck” email.
- Training for owners and staff, tailored to your concept and pace.
- Ongoing support from a team that knows your name, plus 24/7 SkyTab support when you need it after hours.
- Consulting beyond the terminal, from payment strategy and dual-pricing options to workflow and labor optimization.
In other words, you get a restaurant POS that can handle the rush, and a partner that answers the phone when the rush hits.
