Our latest release is bringing your business power, efficiency, and accuracy with next-gen hardware and software solutions.

SkyTab Kiosk

SkyTab Kiosk

Are you looking for a way to add self-service to your restaurant? Whether you’re running a quick-service restaurant or a stadium with concessions, offering customers the ability to complete orders independently can be a game-changer. That’s why we’re introducing SkyTab Kiosk: the future of self-service.

We designed SkyTab Kiosk to be convenient and easy to use — for both you and your customers. Our self-service solution can elevate your service with:

  • Simple Self-Ordering: Customers are directed to order and pay with step-by-step prompts on an intuitive touchscreen, reducing wait times and increasing order accuracy.
  • Front-Of-House Efficiency: Kiosk orders flow right into the POS and your kitchen, and customers stay connected with SMS order notifications, ensuring smooth operations.
  • Seamless Transactions: SkyTab Kiosk accepts Google Pay, Apple Pay, EMV, NFC, and swipe backup payments. Plus, customers can leave feedback with e-receipts.

SkyTab KDS Bump Bar

SkyTab KDS bump bar Are you looking for a way to streamline your back of house? A kitchen display system is essential — but we’re taking it up a notch. That’s why we’re introducing the new SkyTab KDS Bump Bar.

We’ve designed this bump bar to support all of the power of your KDS without needing to touch the screen. Built with durability and accuracy in mind, our new bump bar is kitted out with:

  • Rugged Hardware: An all-aluminum housing helps this bump bar withstand the harshest kitchen environments.
  • Resistant Buttons: This bump bar is built to last — dust, dirt, water, and grime stay out with 20 sealed, long-life magnetic buttons.
  • Intuitive Layout: Keys on this bump bar are laid out for efficiency so staff can quickly access all functions, including Ticket and Item-level interactions.
  • Scroll Wheel: Say goodbye to directional buttons. Our bump bar features a one-of-a-kind scroll wheel that allows for quick and precise accuracy.
