GoTab and DAVO Partner to Eliminate Sales Tax Headaches for Hospitality Operators
Arlington, VA — March 5, 2026 — GoTab, the leading hospitality commerce platform, today announced a new integration with DAVO by Avalara, the end-to-end sales tax management solution built for restaurant and retail operators. The partnership connects GoTab’s point-of-sale data directly to DAVO, enabling merchants to set aside, file, and pay their sales taxes automatically with no manual effort.
