Why restaurant operators in the Mountain West choose SkyTab
Lowest starting price: SkyTab starts at $29.99/month — significantly less than Toast's $69/month starting price. With a lifetime hardware warranty, the total cost of ownership is among the lowest in the industry.
No online ordering commission: Unlike Toast, which charges a commission on online orders, SkyTab's online ordering is commission-free. Every dollar your guests spend online goes to you.
Lifetime hardware warranty: SkyTab includes a lifetime warranty on all hardware. Toast, Square, and Clover offer one-year warranties. This alone can save thousands over the life of your system.
Local installation and support: UBC Unlimited provides onsite installation and local support across seven Mountain West states. Toast, Square, and Clover rely on self-installation or third-party contractors.
No long-term contract required: SkyTab doesn't require a long-term contract. Toast and Clover typically require multi-year commitments with early termination fees.
