Product Overview

About the Handheld+ (SkyTab Mobile)

Handheld+ (SkyTab Mobile) is a compact mobile POS system for restaurants that need staff to take orders and handle payments away from a fixed workstation. The handheld format is designed for service on the move, making it useful in dining rooms, bars, patios, rooftops, and other areas where repeatedly returning to the main POS can interrupt the flow of service. Staff can work with restaurant orders directly from the device while staying closer to the guest throughout the interaction.

As a restaurant POS handheld, SkyTab Mobile supports tableside ordering and payment workflows within the broader Shift4 environment. Staff can begin an order at the table, work with guest seats and ticket information, send items into the restaurant’s order flow, and continue managing the check from the mobile device. Current Shift4 documentation also shows support for accessing open tickets and menu configurations, while recent SkyTab Mobile updates have focused on payment reliability, retry handling, and clearer payment workflows.

The main advantage of a mobile POS device is that order-taking and checkout can happen where service is actually taking place. Instead of relying on handwritten notes or making repeated trips between the table and a stationary POS terminal, servers can keep the ordering process in the digital restaurant workflow from the beginning. This is especially practical for full-service restaurants, busy bars, outdoor seating, and hospitality environments where staff cover a large service area.

Handheld+ (SkyTab Mobile) works best as an extension of the restaurant’s main POS operation rather than as an isolated payment device. It gives waitstaff a portable way to manage orders, tickets, and guest payments while the restaurant continues using its existing Shift4 system for the rest of the service workflow. For operators looking to make tableside service more flexible without introducing a separate platform, SkyTab Mobile provides a practical handheld POS option for everyday restaurant operations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Costs of using this POS is much cheaper than some companies in the market. Customer service in general is very caring and professional. The system is easy to operate with. The online gift cards purchase isn’t user friendly, called service team several times, not so much improvement has been made. Hopefully in the future they may solve the problem.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a lot of research on different POS before deciding on this one for 3 restaurants. Very happy with our decision. It has all of the modern equipment and convenience features we wanted at a better price point than most others out there. The 3 restaurants are all different so it’s nice to be able customize the set up to fit each one’s unique needs. Very user friendly interface on POS, handhelds, and back office log in.  All in all a really great value!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sales rep Max worked with us on selling and  installing a brand new Harbortouch POS. He was helpful every step of the way. He knows the product and he adjusted the software to work for our restaurant.

The system is pretty easy to use. Remote tech support is available to troubleshoot when we need them. We're pretty satisfied. This was our very first POS. Our operations streamlined significantly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just got our pos system in our restaurant. Everything works good so far. We like accepting Apple Pay and Online Orders directly through the system. The POS itself is very easy to use. The guys at Harbortouch POS of Boston showed us great support since the installation. They have been in our restaurant for the whole week until our staff got used to everything.
5 stars deserved!
