Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using a Kitchen Display System (KDS) for Fast Casual Restaurants?

Many fast casual venues can significantly improve their order accuracy and product quality by implementing customized automations using a modern KDS. Instead of handling manual tickets in the kitchen, the fast casual KDS allows the kitchen to efficiently manage order fulfillment, providing complete transparency and visibility into the timing and accuracy of the orders. With the GoTab KDS, managers of Fast Casual venues can deploy multiple KDSs to as many zones as they need. Each zone can receive its own configuration that can be customized for their specific requirements.

How does GoTab’s mobile ordering and payment work in Fast Casual venues?

The typical fast casual restaurant might implement a QR code at every table. Consumers can then scan, order and pay with their mobile device. While QR codes can be a popular alternative for some, they’re not for everyone. That’s why GoTab also supports traditional ordering styles using the GoTab POS. It’s all about giving guests the options to order when and how they want.

Can I accept digital payments at my Fast Casual Restaurant?

Yes. GoTab provides everything you need to accept digital payments at your fast casual restaurant. Guests who want to place an order from their mobile device can use GoTab’s QR ordering and payment platform. Guests who wish to order in a traditional style can pay their tab with their digital wallet.

Can I accept cash at my Fast Casual restaurant using GoTab?

Yes. GoTab provides everything you need to accept cash payments at your fast casual restaurants. Guests who want to place an order from their mobile device can use GoTab’s QR ordering and payment platform. With no app download required, guests simply scan a QR code or tap an NFC chip to access the menu of all participating vendors, order and pay. For guests who want to order the traditional way using cash, GoTab offers a stationary and Pocket POS where servers can place orders and take cash payments and credit or debit card payments.

Does GoTab offer fast casual restaurants handheld technology?

Yes. The GoTab Pocket POS is the ultimate handheld point of sale ordering and payment device. The Pocket POS works seamlessly with the GoTab mobile ordering & payment solution and all our stationary POS displays.

How do fast casual mobile payments work with GoTab?

Fast casual mobile payments in GoTab work the same as general GoTab mobile payments orders. Guests simply open a tab using their credit or debit card or Apple Pay. Guests can easily add to their tab throughout their visit. Then, when they’re ready to leave, guests can simply close out their tab and walk out; no need to wait in line or flag down a server. And if they forget to close out their tab, tabs are automatically closed by GoTab at 3am local time.
