Restaurant Wi-Fi That Keeps Your POS Online
GoTab Managed Network installs, secures and watches the network your tablets, handhelds, printers and kitchen screens run on. It switches to a backup connection automatically when your internet drops, turns guest Wi-Fi into a marketing channel, and shows it all in your GoTab Manager Dashboard.
What is GoTab Managed Network?
GoTab Managed Network is business-grade Wi-Fi and internet backup for restaurants, bars and venues, installed and managed by GoTab. We set up the routers and access points your POS devices run on, monitor them around the clock, and manage them alongside the GoTab platform that runs on top. When something goes wrong on a Friday night, one team owns the network and the POS.
Your POS Is Only as Good as the Network Under It
When the internet drops mid-service, nobody calls their internet provider. They call their POS company. With GoTab Managed Network, your network data and your POS and kitchen data sit in the same platform, so you and our support team can see whether a slow ticket came from the internet, the Wi-Fi, a device or the software.
How GoTab Managed Network Works
Live in minutes, with nothing to configure
Each router is installed and online in about ten minutes and arrives configured, secured and already monitored. Staff tablets and handhelds join with one scan of a QR code, and each extra access point sets itself up the moment it's plugged in.
Guest Wi-Fi that markets for you
Guests connect through a sign-in page with your logo, colors and tonight's specials, then land on your menu, online ordering or loyalty signup. Every email address and marketing opt-in goes straight into GoTab, ready for your next campaign.
Stays online when your internet doesn't
If your main line fails, the network switches automatically to a backup line, optional cellular backup or a manager's phone hotspot. On a hotspot, guest Wi-Fi pauses so orders and payments get the bandwidth, and everything switches back on its own when your line recovers.
Watched around the clock, visible in your dashboard
Every router checks in every five minutes. You get a phone alert when your internet or a key device drops, and the Manager Dashboard shows network health, outages and every device by name, across all your locations.
Already running GoTab OPServer? The two do different jobs. Managed Network keeps your internet connection up and your Wi-Fi healthy. OPServer keeps every GoTab device working together locally if the internet is lost entirely.
Free Wi-Fi that pays you back. Guest Wi-Fi is fully managed and runs on its own network, separate from your POS. Guests accept your terms to get online, and marketing permission is a separate, optional checkbox, so your list is built on guests who said yes.
Modern, Flexible Hardware for Every Service Environment
GoTab's hardware is built to be flexible. You're not locked into one brand or one device.
OPServer Offline Capabilities
An on-site server that keeps every GoTab device in sync.
Manager Dashboard
Live sales, labor, and product-mix data in any browser, plus a Manager App for iOS and Android.
Point of Sale POS
Connect ordering, payments, kitchen operations, and guest tabs in one flexible platform.
The GoTab Difference
A standalone IT vendor sees your network. GoTab sees your network and your POS together, so when an order is slow to reach the kitchen you get one answer instead of finger-pointing.
Handheld POS
Your full point of sale in a server's pocket — orders, tap-to-pay, and kitchen alerts from anywhere on the floor.
Simple and Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is simple: we make money when you do. With our transaction-based processing fees, GoTab is your all-in-one POS and much more.
Open APIs To Connect Your Entire Tech Stack
GoTab is an open platform. Its API connects to the tools you already use — loyalty programs, accounting software, and reservation systems — so you can build the exact setup your business needs, instead of settling for whatever one vendor happens to offer.
Bring Your Systems Together
Connect reservations, events, accounting, loyalty, inventory, self-pour, gaming, property management, and more.
Work With Leading Hospitality Platforms
Including Tripleseat, Intercard, Amusement Connect, PourMyBev, CourtReserve, Mews, and other specialized technology providers.
Keep Data Moving Across Your Operation
Reduce disconnected systems and manual work by sharing critical information between GoTab and the tools your teams rely on.
Build for What Comes Next
Open APIs give operators and technology partners more flexibility to support new experiences and evolving business needs.
One partner from the internet line to the kitchen screen
Your POS company manages the network too, so there's no back-and-forth between your internet provider, an IT contractor and your POS support line.
Guest Wi-Fi that builds your guest list
Branded guest Wi-Fi is included. It promotes your specials while guests connect and sends opted-in emails straight into GoTab, with nothing to export or upload.
Guests can't reach your POS
Guest traffic runs on its own isolated network. Guests can't see or reach your registers, printers or kitchen screens.
You see what we see
Network health, alerts, device history and failovers live in the same Manager Dashboard you use for sales, menus and staff. Change your Wi-Fi password or block a device yourself, any time.

“Now we're selling more food. All the vendors are noticing more food sales based on our numbers and the guest experience.”
“One of the great things about the QR codes and how well that system functions is that it has enabled us to save on labor because we don't need to have waitstaff in the traditional sense.”
“People used to spend 40 minutes of their visit waiting in line. Now they're just sitting with their family and their beer arrives. Before, they'd walk out. Now they stay.”
“Before, we were doing $2,000 to $3,000 a day in reservations. When we switched to this simplified all-inclusive model, we started booking more than $30,000 a day.”
“We tried another QR code ordering system in another store and it fell flat. But with GoTab, we're seeing triple or quadruple the sales compared to that other store, and that's with less attendance. Guests love it.”
“Attendance for some events can soar from 5,000–7,000 on an average day, to an astonishing 110,000 guests for our annual Breeders Cup event. GoTab helps the team achieve exceptional agility”

A managed network is Wi-Fi and internet equipment that a provider installs, monitors and maintains for you. With GoTab Managed Network, the same company that runs your POS manages the routers and access points your tablets, handhelds, printers and kitchen screens rely on.
GoTab Managed Network switches automatically to a backup connection: a second internet line, optional cellular backup, or a manager's phone hotspot. Staff devices stay connected to the Wi-Fi, you get a phone alert, and the network switches back on its own when your main line recovers.
Managed Network keeps your internet connection up and your Wi-Fi healthy. OPServer is a local server that keeps every GoTab device working together if the internet is lost entirely. Your GoTab team can recommend the right setup for your venue.
No. Guest Wi-Fi runs on its own isolated network, so guests can't see or reach your registers, printers or kitchen screens.
Guests connect through a sign-in page with your logo and colors, where you can promote a happy hour, a new menu item or your loyalty program. After signing in, they land on your GoTab menu, online ordering or loyalty signup, and every email address and marketing opt-in goes straight into GoTab.
Each router is installed and online in about ten minutes, with nothing for you to configure. Staff tablets and handhelds join the new network with one scan of a QR code.
Yes. The Manager Dashboard shows the health of every router and access point, internet speed and outages over the last 24 hours or 7 days, and every connected device by name. Multi-unit operators see all locations in one view, ranked worst-first.
