GOTAB ’ S PHONE-ONLY POINT OF SALE

GoTab ’ s new Point of Sale ( POS ) fits in every pocket because it is just a phone ( any phone , in fact ) without the need for a card reader . Benefits include days of battery life , a beautiful OLED display on a compact device , and the ease of use surpassing all handheld solutions in the market ( all at a price point that is a third of competing solutions ). And of course , it wouldn ’ t be a POS if it couldn ’ t accept a card payment , so iOS and Android phones accept contactless ( NFC ) card payments simply by tapping a card on the back of the phone .

Similar to a traditional card reader process , when guests are ready to checkout , the software will prompt users to add a tip before tapping their cards on the back of the device or utilising the Apple Pay or Google Wallet function on any phone to process a payment . Unlike other platforms , tap-to-pay can all be done from the establishments ’ mobile POS without a card reader . With GoTab , it has never been easier for operators and their teams to streamline the payment experience .
“ We believe the future of hospitality will involve many ways of interacting with ordering and payment , all to better suit team members and guests ,” said Tim McLaughlin , Co-founder and CEO at GoTab . “ With the Phone Only POS we saw a need in the market for operators to be able to process payments without a card reader , allowing team members to quickly process payments from a pocket-size mobile device on-the-go . As hardware continues to rapidly evolve , we are dedicated to incorporating new platforms into GoTab ’ s innovative software capabilities and will continue to identify new ways to improve business operations and the guest experience .”
GoTab ’ s flexible platform allows operators to run lean , profitable businesses while also providing customised and elevated guest experiences . Its solutions are driving increased transactions across merchants , with customers seeing average checks increase up to 35 % and logging US $ 83 in sales per hour of labour . � www . intelligentfin . tech
