SkyTab InCharge:
A Back Office In Your Pocket
Presented by Hospitality Control Systems
Real-Time Visibility From Anywhere
Running a restaurant or bar means wearing a lot of hats, but most operators don’t get to watch their business in real time unless they’re physically on site or logged into the back office on a computer. That’s where SkyTab’s InCharge mobile app becomes a real advantage. Instead of opening a laptop or waiting for reports, you get key business metrics delivered to your phone, updated live as your POS system runs.
Whether you’re off for the day, on a supply run, or at another location, InCharge keeps you connected to what matters: sales performance, labor costs, ticket counts, average check size, and staffing trends. You can also see what’s happening behind the scenes: things like voids, discounts, open checks, and ticket times, which often tell you more about how a shift is actually going than the sales number alone.
For operators who split time between locations, that level of visibility is huge. InCharge pulls data from the same Lighthouse back office SkyTab already uses, so the numbers you see are the same ones your managers and accountants rely on. No guessing, no outdated spreadsheets, and no waiting until someone closes to know how the day went.
Multi-location owners can monitor all their venues from the same dashboard, which makes it possible to compare performance without calling for updates or asking for screenshots. You can check how lunch performed at one store while dinner prep starts at another, then see how labor percentage is tracking as the shift evolves.
This kind of real-time visibility helps you react sooner when something drifts and gives you confidence when things are running well. You don’t have to wait until the end of the night to discover that returns spiked, a promo didn’t convert, or labor crept too high because of an unexpected push. You’ll already know.
InCharge isn’t meant to replace a POS terminal or full back-office work. It doesn’t take orders, run payroll, or handle scheduling. What it does is give operators a quick, honest snapshot of performance anytime, from anywhere. For busy restaurateurs and bar owners, that’s like having a back office in your pocket and that little bit of insight often makes the difference between a good shift and a great one.
At Hospitality Control Systems, we have supported restaurants and bars since 1988 with reliable technology and 24/7 service. If you are exploring SkyTab or comparing POS options, we are happy to walk you through how it works and help determine if it is the right fit for your operation.
