Lisa Dallas – Owner of Billy Bob’s Boneyard, a barbecue food trailer presently docked at Dewitt Marine in Bellaire, Michigan said: “We have boats that pull up to the dock and, now with Sidekick, we can run right out there with the handheld, swipe their card and give them their food. The convenience, the ability to not depend on any wifi, I absolutely love.”

The new device joins SpotOn Serve in the company’s suite of handheld restaurant technology. SpotOn Serve, which was introduced in October 2020 is an intuitive handheld device that pairs with SpotOn Restaurant POS, enabling restaurants to take in food and beverage orders in real-time, accept payments at the table, and record guest data for business insight as well as marketing.
