Take the order and the payment at the table

One device from greeting to payment

A server who walks to a fixed terminal three times per table is losing minutes on every turn. With a Shift4 Direct handheld, the order goes to the kitchen the moment it is taken and the check gets paid right at the table. Fewer steps, faster turns, more covers on a busy night.

The same handheld works curbside for pickup and out on delivery, so payment happens wherever the customer is instead of back at a stationary register.

• Fire at the table — items hit the kitchen display instantly, so the line starts sooner and food comes out hotter.
• Pay at the table — card, tap, and mobile wallet accepted in hand, so no one waits on a check drop.
• Fewer errors — order once, in front of the guest, instead of scribbling and rekeying at the terminal.
• Handheld pricing — add devices for $20 per month each, with $0 upfront on hardware for qualifying merchants.

Turn tables faster, capture more tips

When the payment happens tableside, guests are not sitting on a closed table waiting for the check. That alone tightens turn times on your busiest shifts. Tip prompts on the device also tend to lift tip averages compared with a paper slip, which your staff will notice.

Every sale syncs to the same POS and cloud back-office as your registers, so a handheld order is not a separate silo. Your reporting, menu, and labor stay in one system no matter which device rang the sale.

Priced to add across the floor

Handhelds run $20 per month per device, and qualifying merchants on the Advantage program can start with $0 upfront on hardware, up to four devices, subject to approval. Software fees are waived for the first 12 months, then $29.99 per device per month. With dual pricing, card-processing cost can move toward 0 percent for qualifying merchants.
