SkyTab Online Ordering:
Direct, Integrated, and Included
Presented by Hospitality Control Systems
Online ordering is now expected in the restaurant industry, but many systems still require extra software, extra tablets, extra logins, and extra monthly fees. SkyTab takes a different approach. Direct online ordering is included with the POS at no extra monthly software cost, and orders flow through the same system that runs the dining room and the kitchen.
Direct online ordering reduces operational friction and protects margin by keeping orders, customer relationships, and ticket volume in-house instead of routing them through outside platforms.
Order Through a Website the Restaurant Owns
SkyTab also includes a Website Builder, so guests order through a website the restaurant controls. No marketplace storefronts, no redirects, and no commissions. Restaurants keep control of the experience, the customer data, and the margin on each ticket.
Integrated With the POS
When customers order online:
menu data syncs from the POS
payment processes automatically
tickets fire to the correct kitchen printer or KDS
FOH and BOH stay aligned
reporting stays unified
This eliminates tablet juggling, dual menus, and handwritten transfers.
Control Without Extra Subscriptions
Operators manage online menus and ordering rules right inside SkyTab, including:
pricing and item visibility
photos and descriptions
modifiers and add-ons
prep times and order cutoffs
pickup, curbside, or delivery settings
temporary 86 controls
Adjustments during rushes, holidays, or short staffing don’t require another platform or another subscription.
Keep Regulars and Keep the Margin
Marketplaces are useful for discovery, but once customers become regulars, sending every ticket through a commission-based platform cuts into profitability and hands over customer relationships. Direct online ordering keeps repeat traffic, customer data, and profit in-house.
Fits Naturally in Takeout and Pickup Operations
Direct online ordering works especially well for restaurants with steady takeout or pickup volume, including pizza and wings, casual dining, cafés and bakeries, breakfast and lunch concepts, bars with food programs, and multi-location groups.
SkyTab includes both the Website Builder and direct online ordering with the POS at no additional monthly software charge. Restaurants don’t need to pay for a separate website + ordering package just to accept online orders.
The Takeaway for Restaurants
SkyTab makes it easy for restaurants to accept online orders through a website they own, route tickets into the POS and kitchen automatically, and keep both customer data and margin — without extra monthly software fees.
