Product Overview

About the Handheld (SkyTab Air)

Handheld (SkyTab Air) is a mobile restaurant POS terminal designed for tableside ordering, check management, and payments away from the main Workstation. Servers can carry the device through dining rooms, bars, patios, curbside pickup areas, and other service spaces instead of returning to a fixed POS terminal after every order or check update. The handheld keeps those interactions inside the same Shift4 Dine environment used by the rest of the restaurant team.

During service, staff can create and manage tickets, add or modify items, work with guest checks, and move directly into the payment flow from the handheld. Current Shift4 Dine software supports full payments, equal check splits, custom partial payments, and multi-tender transactions on Handheld devices. Supported payment options can include credit cards, gift cards, QR Pay, and cash in configurations where the employee uses an employee bank. Card transactions can be completed directly on the device using supported tap, dip, or swipe methods. :chatgpt-content-reference{index=”0″}

SkyTab Air also supports digital receipts, allowing guests to receive a receipt by text or email without requiring a printed copy. For restaurants that regularly split checks or accept more than one payment type on the same ticket, the modernized payment workflow keeps those steps on the handheld and shows the remaining balance as each payment is completed. This makes the device particularly practical for full-service restaurants, busy bars, patios, and other operations where payment often happens away from the main counter. :chatgpt-content-reference{index=”1″}

Rather than functioning as a separate payment terminal, Handheld (SkyTab Air) extends the restaurant’s core POS workflow into the service area. Orders, checks, and payments remain connected with Shift4 Dine while staff stay closer to the guest. For operators that want a portable restaurant POS without moving key order and payment tasks into a separate system, SkyTab Air provides a practical handheld option for everyday tableside service.

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.

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!

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.

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!
