Bodhi Thai: SkyTab POS + integrated reservations on one Clay Pay stack

Full-service Thai restaurant in Lexington running reservations, tableside payments, table management, and reporting on one stack instead of three vendors.

Headline metric

1 stack: Reservations + POS + payments unified

Supporting metrics

  • SkyTab: Restaurant POS we installed and configured
  • Tableside: Handheld payments at every server

The challenge

Most full-service restaurants run reservations on one vendor (OpenTable, Resy, or similar), POS on another vendor, and payments on a third. Reconciliation becomes a nightly puzzle. Reporting is split across three dashboards. When a guest cancels late or a no-show comes through, the restaurant manager is doing the cross-system math by hand. Bodhi Thai wanted a Thai-concept full-service restaurant in Lexington that did not feel like a back-office spreadsheet exercise.

The solution

  • SkyTab POS installed across the restaurant, configured for the Thai menu structure, modifier flow, and kitchen routing the concept needs
  • SkyTab integrated reservations turned on so bookings flow into the same system handling the floor, with no separate vendor reconciliation
  • Tableside handheld payment devices at every server, so guests pay at the table without the bill ever leaving the floor
  • Tip pooling, server tip-out, and FLSA-compliant gratuity workflows configured to the operator's tip policy
  • Same-day funding configured on the merchant account so Friday night's revenue lands in the bank Monday morning
  • Dual pricing structured into the menu pricing so the operator's net processing cost stays close to zero

The outcome

The reservations, POS, payments, and reporting now live on one stack. The manager's nightly close goes from a multi-system reconciliation to a single end-of-day report. New servers train on one platform instead of three. Bodhi Thai is the proof point we point to when other Lexington and Midlands restaurant operators ask what a modern full-service stack actually looks like.
