Customer Loyalty

Restaurants today face increasing pressure to build stronger relationships with the guests they already serve. Acquiring new customers is costly, while repeat customers are more likely to order more often and spend more per visit.

Guests naturally gravitate toward restaurants they trust. When it comes time to order, they prefer familiar brands and experiences that feel easy, reliable, and secure. That’s why direct ordering channels remain a critical part of a restaurant’s digital strategy.

As mobile ordering continues to grow in popularity, native mobile apps have become one of the most effective ways to strengthen guest loyalty. A mobile app keeps your restaurant front and center on your customers’ phones, making reordering faster and more convenient than visiting a mobile website each time.

AppLab helps restaurants already using Shift4 SkyTab Online Ordering take advantage of this shift by extending their existing ordering experience into branded iOS and Android apps. With no changes to payments, POS, or operations, restaurants can increase repeat orders, visit frequency, and average order size by offering a familiar, trusted mobile app experience.

Stop Paying Commissions

As restaurants expand their digital ordering options, many rely on a mix of direct and marketplace channels to reach guests. While marketplace platforms can provide visibility, they often introduce additional costs and limit the restaurant’s direct relationship with its customers.

Branded mobile apps shift the focus back to the restaurant’s own digital experience. By offering an app dedicated exclusively to your brand, guests interact directly with your menu, your ordering flow, and your business — without distractions or unnecessary intermediaries.

AppLab enables restaurants already using Shift4 SkyTab Online Ordering to offer branded iOS and Android apps that connect directly to their existing ordering setup. Because orders and payments continue to process through Shift4, restaurants maintain full visibility, control, and consistency across all digital channels.

The result is a more efficient, direct ordering experience that supports stronger guest loyalty, higher repeat order rates, and improved long-term customer value.

Branded Mobile App

For restaurants looking to offer a branded mobile app, AppLab provides a simple and reliable way to extend your existing online ordering experience into native iOS and Android apps.

Your app is fully branded to match your restaurant — including your logo, colors, and imagery — and is published to the Apple App Store and Google Play. Guests can place orders directly through the app using the same ordering flow they already know from your SkyTab Online Ordering site.

The app is designed for convenience and repeat ordering. Returning guests can quickly reorder using saved preferences, previously used delivery addresses, and familiar checkout flows.

All updates remain centralized. Any changes you make to your menu, pricing, availability, or ordering settings through SkyTab Online Ordering are automatically reflected in your mobile apps, ensuring consistency across web and mobile without additional management.

Your Restaurant App

With AppLab, your restaurant receives its own dedicated mobile app — designed exclusively for your brand and your customers.

Unlike shared marketplace apps, your AppLab-powered app focuses entirely on your restaurant. Guests see only your menu, your branding, and your ordering experience, without competing listings or distractions.

Your app is recommended directly to your customers and becomes a convenient, trusted way for them to place repeat orders. Once installed, your restaurant lives on their home screen, making reordering faster and more familiar over time.

Because the app is powered by your existing Shift4 SkyTab Online Ordering, guests experience the same consistent ordering flow they already know, while you maintain full control over menus, pricing, and availability through your existing systems.

How AppLab Works

AppLab helps restaurants launch professional mobile apps by extending their existing Shift4 SkyTab system—not replacing it.

You keep SkyTab as your core POS and online ordering platform while AppLab adds a powerful mobile layer on top.

Step 1: We Extend Your Existing SkyTab System

AppLab24 connects directly to SkyTab Online Ordering and the Shift4 Lighthouse platform.

Nothing is replaced. Your menus, pricing, modifiers, taxes, hours, and payment rules continue to live and be managed inside SkyTab—exactly as you use them today.

Step 2: Real-Time Sync Across Web & App

No separate dashboards

No double work

One source of truth

Step 3: Your Brand Becomes a Native Mobile App

AppLab transforms your existing online ordering into true native iOS and Android apps.

Your restaurant’s branding, colors, and identity are applied to deliver a fast, polished experience that feels like a custom-built product—without the cost or complexity of custom development.

Step 4: Secure Payments Through Shift4

All orders placed through the app are processed using Shift4’s secure payment infrastructure.

Payments remain PCI-compliant, reliable, and fully integrated with your existing reporting and settlement flow.

Step 5: Faster Ordering & Easy Reordering

Customers can place orders in seconds using saved favorites and past orders.
A smoother checkout experience leads to higher conversion rates and more frequent repeat orders.

Step 6: Reach Customers with Push Notifications

AppLab enables push notifications sent directly to your customers’ phones.

Promote specials, limited-time offers, or important updates—without paying commissions or relying on third-party marketplaces.

Step 7: Built for the Lighthouse Ecosystem

AppLab is fully Lighthouse-compatible, ensuring real-time order flow, accurate reporting, and long-term reliability as Shift4 continues to evolve.

Step 8: Publish, Promote, and Grow

We handle publishing your app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

You promote it to your customers, drive direct orders, and maintain full control of your brand—while SkyTab continues to run your operations.

I was able to keep my staff without laying off them due to COVID-19 and still save up to 70% to 85% of my revenue only because of AppLab’s Mobile App.

When customers place orders through the app or the web instead of phone orders, it gets them into a new habit of placing orders conveniently online and eventually we save labor.
