How GoTab Transforms Food Halls with Seamless Multi-Vendor Ordering, Payments, & More
Gone are the days when food hall patrons had to elbow their way through crowds to order, or play the "wave down a server" game. With GoTab's Food Hall POS, ordering from multiple vendors has never been easier—or more seamless. Whether they're enjoying sushi from one stall, tacos from another, or cocktails from the bar, guests can order from all their favorite spots, right from their smartphones. Whether seated, standing, or just doing a victory lap of the hall, the process is smooth and quick, meaning more time for bites and less time for waiting.
Multi-Vendor Ordering
At a food hall, variety is the spice of life. And with GoTab’s multi-vendor ordering feature, patrons can build their dream meal from multiple vendors without ever standing in line. They browse, order, and pay in one streamlined experience—and yes, even from different vendors! The orders are automatically routed to the correct kitchens or bars through our Kitchen Display System (KDS), so the ramen stand isn’t worrying about the cocktail someone ordered at the bar. Each vendor gets their orders directly, ready to prep and serve without a hiccup.
Plus, this level of automation lets the whole hall run like a well-oiled machine. Less confusion, faster service, and fewer hangry customers pacing the floor.
Less Paperwork, More Profits
Managing multiple vendors can be a financial juggling act for food hall operators. But with GoTab’s automatic tenant remittance feature, we’ve turned that circus act into a stroll in the park. Vendor sales are tracked automatically, and at the end of the day, rent and fees are remitted directly, with no manual calculations or spreadsheets in sight. All you have to do is sit back and watch your tenant relationships flourish. No need for awkward bill chases or accounting headaches—GoTab handles the math, so you can handle the good stuff, like growing your business.
The Foodie Friend’s Best Ally
GoTab’s shared tab feature is perfect for food halls where diners roam between vendors with friends, family, or colleagues. Guests can start a tab, order from multiple vendors, and split it by item, person, or dollar amount—all from their phones. No more interrupting conversations or flagging down staff to manage payments. Just scan, order, eat, and repeat. When it’s time to settle up, splitting the bill is a breeze, and everyone can pay their share without a single awkward Venmo request.
Real-Time Communication via Two-Way Texting
Communication is key—especially when vendors and customers are spread out across a vast food hall. GoTab’s two-way text communication allows vendors and customers to stay connected in real time. Need a status update on those handmade dumplings? The vendor can shoot a quick message right to the guest's phone. It's like having a personal concierge for your food experience, ensuring everyone knows when their food is hot, fresh, and ready for pick-up.
Harnessing First-Party Data to Boost Sales
GoTab’s Food Hall POS doesn’t just simplify operations; it gives you powerful insights through first-party data. As patrons order, we collect valuable feedback, letting you know exactly what dishes hit the mark. Use this data to fine-tune menus, boost sales, and encourage repeat visits. Plus, happy customers are more likely to rave about their experience online, turning your food hall into a must-visit destination.
With GoTab’s robust features, you can optimize every facet of your food hall’s operations, ensuring smooth service, happy vendors, and satisfied guests. It’s more than just a POS—it’s the secret sauce for food hall success.
