Is your restaurant in need of a rescue? We’re answering the call!

At Shift4, we take pride in supporting small businesses and providing them with the tools they need for success. That’s why we launched the SkyTab Rescue Mission last year — where we awarded two deserving businesses with a complete SkyTab POS system, a $20,000 business grant, and a consulting session with our friend Jon Taffer of Bar Rescue.

We’re so proud to announce that we’re bringing back the SkyTab Rescue Mission in a big way! This year, we’re awarding not two — but FIVE — bars or restaurants with a chance to transform their business. Want in on the action? Read on to learn more!

What is SkyTab Rescue Mission?

SkyTab Rescue Mission is a program designed to give five lucky winners a proverbial lifeboat — whether your business has fallen on hard times or you’re trying to get the restaurant of your dreams to reach new heights.

Each winner will receive:

SkyTab Rescue Mission rewards - complete POS system, $20,000 business grant, consulting with Jon Taffer

That’s right – we’re awarding a total of $100,000 in prize money to Rescue Mission winners! In addition to a complete SkyTab POS system and consulting session with Jon Taffer for each winner, we’re giving five businesses a thrilling opportunity to transform their future.
