What Shift4 Dine is
Shift4 Dine is a restaurant platform that combines point of sale, online and mobile ordering, payments, QR ordering, reservations, marketing, loyalty, and integrations.

Reservation and waitlist tools include floor plans, table assignment, and SMS or prerecorded-call notifications. The Customer Hub provides customizable dashboards and reports for sales, inventory, labor, customers, and multiple locations. A cloud back office provides remote POS access and tools for menus, employees, inventory, and multiple locations; the mobile app surfaces real-time business insights. Shift4 Dine lists offline credit-card acceptance, next-day funding, and point-to-point encryption and tokenization. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and advertises 24/7/365 technical support.
