Restaurant commerce platform, GoTab, has created a partnership with non-profit, CORE: Children of Restaurant Employees. GoTab is the first technology partner for the non-profit organization and a CORE Silver Sponsor, according to a press release.

GoTab's involvement with CORE goes beyond the traditional corporate participation. To continuously support food and beverage service employees with children, GoTab will donate five cents for every transaction processed for participating venues through the platform to CORE.

"We are thrilled to join forces with GoTab and count a technology leader among our industry partners," Sheila Bennett, executive director, CORE, said in the release. "The continuous support GoTab is offering will be instrumental in providing financial assistance to families of restaurant employees during this unprecedented time when a health crisis or natural disaster can add financial stress."

CORE is a nationally-recognized community of support for all food and beverage service employees with children, providing financial relief and assistance when faced with a medical crisis, injury, death or natural disaster. CORE's mission aligns perfectly with GoTab's hospitality-first approach. Built by restaurateurs for restaurateurs, GoTab was developed as a solution to answer consumers' dining needs and expectations and to help operators put hospitality first.

GoTab's mobile POS, contactless ordering, payment features and kitchen management systems allow operators to offer a safe environment for staffers and diners alike. With a cloud-based solution, operators can run stay on the cutting edge of hospitality technology innovation and run operations without the difficult contracts and monthly fees associated with other technology platforms.

"Our CORE partnership is critically important to us in this moment when operators and their employees are working so hard to overcome every challenge," GoTab CEO Tim McLaughlin said in the release. "We are honored to be able to help families of the hospitality industry with direct resources when the unexpected happens."

GoTab and CORE are exploring additional initiatives to expand this partnership and further drive awareness for the need to support families in the hospitality industry beyond the pandemic.
