GoTab is a cloud‑based Restaurant Commerce Platform that unifies point‑of‑sale, QR‑code mobile ordering, payment, and kitchen display into a single system. It lets guests order and pay via a server, their own mobile browser, or a hybrid approach on one tab without downloading an app, while providing real‑time analytics and streamlined back‑of‑house operations for mid‑size to large food‑and‑beverage venues.

Problem
Restaurants, breweries, bars, and hotels often rely on separate, legacy point‑of‑sale systems, manual order taking, and fragmented payment methods, which increase labor costs, slow service, and limit guest spend. Additionally, requiring guests to download dedicated apps creates friction and reduces adoption of contactless ordering.
Solution
GoTab provides an integrated Restaurant Commerce Platform that combines a modern POS, mobile QR‑based ordering and payment, kitchen display system, handheld POS, and self‑ordering kiosks into a single, cloud‑connected solution. Guests can order and pay through a server, their own mobile browser, or a blend of both on one tab without needing to install an app or create a password. The platform synchronizes front‑of‑house and back‑of‑house operations in real time, enabling staff to serve faster, reduce labor overhead, and encourage additional orders. Built on secure HTTPS connections with required cookies and JavaScript, the system works across devices and scales from single locations to high‑volume venues.
