“Small businesses are at the heart of what makes this country
thrive,” said Taffer. “Last year, SkyTab launched its first Rescue
Mission where we equipped two small businesses with the right
technologies and know-how to be successful in today’s economy. The
response was overwhelming. So many businesses need our help. That’s
why we’re launching SkyTab Rescue Mission 2.0 to help even more
business owners.”
SkyTab POS is a modern, all-in-one technology platform that
allows restaurants and bars to deliver exceptional guest
experiences and manage every aspect of their business. It includes
integrated online ordering and reservations, contactless/QR code
ordering and payment, built-in marketing tools and loyalty program,
mobile devices for tableside ordering and payment, comprehensive
reporting, and much more.
“We’re excited to partner once again with our friend Jon Taffer
to help more restaurants succeed with a SkyTab Rescue Mission,”
said Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman. “It was incredible to see the
impact that we were able to have for the winners of our first
Rescue Mission contest, so we decided to go even bigger this time
around, expanding from two winners to five. In addition to the
grant money and Jon’s valuable expertise, the winners will benefit
from our SkyTab POS system, which is a truly game-changing
technology solution for restaurants.”
