Bar POS Features- Tab Control
One of GoTab's standout features is the innovative Tab Control functionality, tailor-made for bar operations. Picture a bustling sunday night for the big game at your bar, brimming with excitement. Now, envision the convenience of bartenders initiating tabs and effortlessly sending them via text to your customers. With this feature, patrons can effortlessly augment their mobile tabs, share them with friends, and complete payments and tips—all without the need to compete for the attention of a busy bartender or navigate through packed bars to close a tab. These seamless mobile payment features not only enhance the overall customer experience but also provide a substantial boost to your sales, all while reducing errors and wait times.
Segmented Marketing Campaigns with GoTab
One of the key aspects of hosting unforgettable game day events is understanding your audience. GoTab empowers you to leverage your own first-party data to craft highly targeted marketing campaigns. Identify and categorize different segments of your customer base, whether it's die-hard sports fans, local supporters, or casual game day attendees.
With GoTab's integrated email marketing, you can effortlessly share exciting news with your segmented audience. Announce new bar locations, upcoming special events, or limited releases of beverages and menu items. Tailoring your marketing efforts to specific segments ensures that the right patrons are not only informed but also excited about game day at your bar.
Promotions and Special Menu Items
Take advantage of GoTab's versatility to offer enticing promotions and special menu items that perfectly complement the game day experience.
Team-Themed Drinks- Create cocktails or beverages inspired by the competing teams. Offer them at special prices during the event, encouraging patrons to try something new and celebrate their favorite team.
Game-Time Discounts- Make use of off-peak hours, such as 2-5 PM, to attract guests and drive sales. Consider special promotions on alcoholic beverages or discounts on fan-favorite items like wings, burgers, or appetizers. Game-time discounts can be particularly effective for takeout operations, where you can entice patrons with offers like "If your team wins, get this item for free" or "Half-off select menu items."
Catering for Larger Groups- Embrace the spirit of tailgating by offering catering menus designed for larger groups of game day enthusiasts. Create platters of loaded nachos, chili dogs, and sliders that are perfect for sharing. Enhance the experience with a variety of dipping sauces and shareable appetizer combinations, encouraging group dining and catering orders for home viewing parties.
Safeguarding Your Bottom Line with Insufficient Funds Protection
GoTab's Insufficient Funds Protection feature ensures you never miss a beat when it comes to your revenue. It locks the funds for the balance due each time a new order is placed, guaranteeing you're compensated for every purchase. Bid farewell to open tabs rejected at the end of the night, whether due to insufficient funds, fraud, or other card issues. With GoTab, your revenue stays secure, even during the most thrilling game days.
By implementing GoTab's POS alongside these strategic tips, you can elevate the game day experience at your bar. So, gear up for game day, make the most of GoTab's features, and transform your bar into the ultimate destination for sports enthusiasts.
