Get Your Free DemoYour Bar Isn't a Restaurant. Your POS Shouldn't Act Like One.
A bartender slinging cocktails on a Saturday night needs a POS that keeps up. Open tabs flying. Credit cards pre-authorized. Drink orders entered in two taps, not five. Your POS needs to be fast, dark-mode ready for low-light environments, and tough enough to survive spills, bumps, and chaos.
SkyTab is built for the speed and intensity of bar service. Quick-fire order entry, one-tap tab management, and handheld devices that let bartenders close tabs anywhere on the floor or patio.
Features That Keep Your Bar Running at Full Speed
Open Tab Management
Start tabs with a name, card swipe, or pre-authorization. Search, transfer, and close tabs in seconds. No lost tabs, no walkouts.
Pre-Authorized Card Holds
Swipe and hold a card at the start of the night. Close the tab whenever the guest is ready—or auto-close at last call with a preset gratuity.
Speed-Optimized Interface
Quick-access drink buttons, frequently ordered items, and modifier shortcuts designed for bartender speed.
Handheld Devices for Floor Service
SkyTab Mobile lets your cocktail servers take orders and close tabs from the patio, VIP section, or anywhere in the venue.
Contactless Ordering
QR codes at tables or bar seats let guests order and pay from their phone—reducing wait times during peak hours.
Inventory Insights
Track pour costs, identify your best-selling drinks, and monitor waste. Reporting through Lighthouse gives you real-time data on your bar's performance.
Automatic Gratuity
Set auto-gratuity for large parties or auto-close scenarios. Preset tip suggestions on every payment screen increase average tip percentages.
