“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.”
