Get Your Free DemoQuick-Service Runs on Speed. Your POS Should Too.
Quick-service and fast casual restaurants live and die by throughput. A slow POS terminal during lunch rush doesn't just frustrate your team—it costs you customers. When your line is out the door, you need a system that keeps orders flying, routes them to the right kitchen stations, and handles dine-in, takeout, and delivery simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
SkyTab is designed for the pace of QSR operations. Fast order entry screens, intuitive modifier flows, and instant kitchen routing mean your team spends less time per transaction and more time making food.

Features That Keep Your Line Moving
Quick-Pick Order Screens
Lunch rush hits and your cashier taps Chicken Bowl > Extra Guac > Fountain Drink in under 8 seconds. Large color-coded buttons, combo builders, and smart modifier flows eliminate training time and speed up every transaction.
KDS with Station Routing
A bowl fires to the grill station while the side salad routes to cold prep — simultaneously. Color-coded timers turn yellow at 3 minutes and red at 5, so your expo knows exactly which ticket is falling behind.
Commission-Free Online Ordering
A customer orders a family pack from your website at 11:45 AM. The order drops into your KDS alongside walk-in tickets — no separate tablet, no manual re-entry, and no 15-30% commission to a third party.
Delivery Platform Consolidation
DoorDash order at 12:01, Uber Eats at 12:03, Grubhub at 12:05 — all on one screen, one ticket stream. Eliminate the tablet jungle on your counter and the errors from re-keying orders.
QR Code Counter Bypass
10 people in line at noon? The QR code on the sneeze guard lets 3 of them order from their phone and skip the register entirely. Their tickets appear on the KDS tagged as mobile orders.
Online Order Throttling
Friday lunch is slammed and you're at kitchen capacity. Flip the throttle to cap online orders at 15/hour. Customers see a real wait time instead of a cancelled order, and your line cooks don't drown.
Hourly Sales & Throughput Reports
Pull up Lighthouse at 2 PM and see that your 11:30-12:30 window averaged $1,240 in sales with a 47-second ticket time. Use that data to staff smarter and decide whether to extend your lunch menu by 30 minutes.
Control the Flow Before It Controls You
Set an online order cap per hour. Your kitchen stays manageable, and online customers see accurate wait times instead of cancelled orders.
Drag the slider. Your kitchen capacity, your rules.
