Hotels, bars and restaurants no longer need to worry about internet disruptions throwing a spanner in the works, thanks to GoTab’s latest innovation. The entertainment commerce platform has introduced GoTab Sync for Cloud and On Premises, ensuring seamless service even when connectivity drops.
For years, GoTab has been the go-to cloud solution for venues needing fast, flexible ordering and payment systems. Now, it has taken things a step further by allowing businesses to continue operating without interruption-even if the internet goes down.
Keeping the Service Flowing
“GoTab’s cloud-native architecture has already transformed the way guests and staff interact, creating a shared ordering and checkout experience,” said Tim McLaughlin, CEO and Co-Founder of GoTab. “With GoTab Sync for Cloud and On Premises, we’re combining the flexibility of the cloud with the reliability of an on-premises system. It’s a win for both operators and guests.”
With this new feature, GoTab users can seamlessly switch to an on-premises setup when internet service is lost. Orders can still be managed across POS terminals, kiosks, kitchen displays, and mobile devices, ensuring smooth service without delays.
Why It Matters for Hospitality Operators
Losing internet access mid-service can create chaos for venue staff and leave customers frustrated. GoTab Sync eliminates that risk, allowing businesses to continue running without a hitch. Here’s how it works:
Full Tab Sharing: Customers and staff can still use shared tabs across fixed and handheld POS devices, kiosks, and payment terminals.
Payments Without Disruption: Debit and credit card transactions continue to be processed as usual, and cash drawers remain functional.
Kitchen Displays and Printing Stay Online: Orders still appear on kitchen screens, and staff can bump or print tickets as needed.
Instant Alerts: A banner alert notifies staff of internet disruptions, and operators can manually switch to on-premises mode at their discretion.
Local Data Storage: Transaction records are securely stored on local devices, ensuring no data is lost due to poor connectivity.
Automatic Cloud Syncing: Once internet access is restored, all stored data is synchronised with the cloud, so records remain accurate.
For hospitality operators, this new capability means no more interruptions, lost orders, or frustrated customers when connectivity fails. Whether it’s a packed bar on a Friday night or a remote festival venue, GoTab Sync ensures businesses can continue delivering great experiences-no internet required. As the industry continues to embrace digital solutions, GoTab’s latest innovation sets a new benchmark for reliability and service continuity in hospitality.
