There are two main concerns when a location has poor cellular service and/or bad Wifi. First, poor connectivity can impact GoTab’s ability to operate from the restaurant’s perspective. This means GoTab orders may not be processed quickly or GoTab could go offline altogether. The second way connectivity impacts GoTab is from the end users prospective. When a location has bad service, users may be unable to access the GoTab website, obviously limiting their ability to place orders.
If a location is in an area with bad cellular service, and the venue does not have fast or accessible WIFI, we may have to look at alternative solutions.
We are happy to help provide additional marketing materials to educate your guests! Materials include everything from table tents, posters, and stanchions to a-frames and menu inserts.

GoTab Zones provide the ultimate flexibility. Unlike a typical point of sale system, with zones you can segregate your business to accomplish anything you want. You can set up a Ghost Kitchen, create separate Drop Locations for direct-to-consumer ecommerce sales, or even generate delivery zones for home delivery of restaurant grocery items.
GoTab Order rules allow you to create customized coupons, discounts and fees within your GoTab management dashboard.
A Coupon — has an expiration date and can be used a certain amount of times; for example, a buy-one, get-one free discount.
Discounts are a percent or dollar amount of an item or check, for example, a staff discount.
A Fee is the inverse of a discount; for example, a delivery fee.
You can generate customer-level reports on Coupons, Discounts and Fees, add or remove customers from Coupons Discounts and Fees, or customize based on anything you’d like.
A GoTag tag is a way to identify each menu item to make it easier for guests to sort or search your menu. For example, vegetarian, vegan, spicy, etc. You can tag items so that chits print in the kitchen, the bar, or anywhere else. You can even identify products to show up via email or digitally versus a KDS.
