Ditch the Toast: Why More Restaurants Are Switching to SkyTab POS

Running a restaurant in today’s climate is no easy task. Every dollar counts—and the tools you use to run your business shouldn't be eating into your bottom line. If you’re currently using Toast POS, you might be feeling that pinch more than you should.

Let’s break down what’s really going on—and why more restaurant owners are making the switch to SkyTab POS.

The Real Cost of Toast POS

At first glance, Toast seems like a solid choice. It offers a slick interface, modern hardware, and tools designed for the restaurant industry. But once you dig into the details, many owners are surprised by the hidden costs.

🔥 High Monthly Software Fees

Toast charges steep monthly rates for its software—especially if you need advanced features like online ordering, gift cards, or loyalty programs. Those “extras” add up fast.

💳 Non-Negotiable Processing Fees

Toast locks you into their in-house payment processing, often at higher rates than the industry average. You’re not just paying for the software—you’re paying a premium on every transaction.

🛠️ Limited Customer Support

Need help during a dinner rush or on a weekend? Good luck. Many users report long wait times and offshore tech support that doesn’t always understand the urgency of restaurant operations.
