About Gateway

Built right here on the Gulf Coast

Founded in 2016, Gateway Payment Technologies was built right here on the Gulf Coast to serve the local businesses that keep our communities moving. Based in Destin, we proudly support 500+ businesses across Northwest Florida, from food trucks and family owned shops to busy restaurants, marinas, growing multi location brands, and trade companies.

We believe no two businesses are the same. That is why we treat every client like a hands on project, not an account number. Our team works side by side with owners and operators to design payment systems that truly fit the way you do business, from laying out the floor plan and installing on site to training, support, and long term growth.

Gateway is more than a POS provider. We are a local partner invested in your success, helping local operators run smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

Custom SaaS Development

Software built around how your business actually runs — not the other way around.

Franchise Software Development

Growing a franchise means every location has to run the same way. Gateway builds custom franchise software that gives franchisors and franchise owners one system to run the whole network — operations and payments built in — so new locations open on the same playbook and the brand stays consistent as you grow.

Built for the 4th of July Rush

When your restaurant or bar is slammed wall-to-wall, you need a point of sale that doesn’t flinch.

Orders & Payments Right at the Table

Put your entire POS system in your servers’ hands. Handheld POS keeps staff with their guests instead of running back to a terminal — orders fire instantly to the kitchen, and payment happens on the spot at the table, on the patio, or even on the beach. Guests can tap to pay with Apple Pay and Google Wallet, tables turn faster, and your team serves more guests during peak hours. With built-in 5G, service keeps moving anywhere there’s a signal.

Smart payment kiosks turn a standard service lane into an automated power lane — like this Blendz self-order kiosk, installed and supported by Gateway. Guests order and pay on their own, which reduces lines and labor pressure during peak hours, while guided ordering and built-in upsells lift ticket size. Kiosks accept tap-to-pay, cards, and mobile wallets, and appeal to the younger, mobile-first generation that prefers self-service.

Smart Payment Kiosks — Turn One Lane Into An Automated Power Lane

Self-service payment kiosks for restaurants, retail, and high-traffic locations on the Gulf Coast — installed, trained, and supported by Gateway’s local Destin team.

Labor Relief Instantly with a Payment Kiosk

Labor is tight and customer expectations are higher than ever. Automating one checkout lane helps reduce staffing pressure, shorten lines, and serve more guests during peak hours. Self-service kiosks create a faster, smoother experience customers already prefer — without sacrificing accuracy, control, or speed.

Lines Move Faster with a Payment Kiosk

Staffing challenges don’t have to limit growth. A payment kiosk adds a fast, reliable ordering lane that helps serve more guests per hour. With an intuitive interface and quick checkout, kiosks reduce pressure on staff, shorten wait times, and deliver a smooth experience customers expect today.

Built to Boost Sales

Kiosks don’t just replace labor, they create new revenue. Guided ordering and built-in upsells encourage guests to add items they might otherwise skip. The result is higher order values, faster throughput, and a system that quickly covers its own cost while improving overall efficiency.

How Younger Customers Prefer to Order

Younger customers are comfortable ordering on screens and expect quick, seamless checkout. Payment kiosks align with modern behavior by shortening lines, improving flow, and reducing reliance on staff. It’s a smarter front-of-house setup that matches how customers prefer to order today.

Based in Destin, our local team serves over 150 restaurants between Pensacola and Panama City, providing dependable restaurant POS systems with hands-on support. Kiosks accept tap-to-pay, cards, and mobile wallets — even during peak rushes.

Quick answers

Common questions

How do kiosks help with labor costs?

A kiosk automates one ordering lane, shortening lines and freeing staff during peak hours while built-in upsells lift ticket size — so the lane helps cover its own cost.

What payments do Gateway kiosks accept?

Tap-to-pay, cards and mobile wallets, even during peak rushes. Gateway installs, trains and supports kiosks locally from Destin.

Phone Sized POS With Lightning Fast Checkout

The OmniTab delivers powerful POS functionality in a phone-sized device. Servers can process payments instantly right at the table without returning to a terminal. Faster checkout keeps service flowing, reduces wait times, and helps your team turn tables more efficiently during busy shifts.

JellyPOS — The Cloud POS That Runs Your Whole Store

JellyPOS is enterprise retail software installed and supported locally by Gateway Payment Technologies, headquartered in Destin, Florida. From Pensacola to Panama City, our team sets up your store, trains your staff, and supports you 24/7, 365 days a year at 850-387-2395 — so the system that runs your whole store comes with people right here on the Gulf Coast behind it.

In short

JellyPOS is a cloud point of sale that runs your whole store from one platform. It lives in the cloud and runs in a browser on a register, tablet, phone, or laptop — with one catalog and one inventory for your counter and your online store, a built-in customer CRM, delivery and dispatch, and quotes and invoicing, all installed and supported locally by Gateway in Destin, FL with 24/7 support on 850-387-2395.

A Point of Sale That Lives in the Cloud

JellyPOS lives in the cloud, so there are no servers to maintain and nothing to install — it runs right in a browser on a register, tablet, phone, or laptop. Your products, customers, orders, and pricing live in one place, so nothing has to be reconciled across separate apps. Your data is encrypted and backed up automatically, and you can reach it anywhere there is signal.

Real-Time Inventory, Counter to Website

With JellyPOS, a sale at the register updates your online inventory in the same moment. Every device sees the same live data the instant it changes, so the counts at your counter, on your website, and in your back office always agree — no end-of-day syncing and no selling something that already went out the door.

One Catalog for Your Store and Your Online Shop

Run one catalog and one inventory across your in-store register and your online store, with checkout, receipts, and barcode scanning built in. JellyPOS includes an online store — an instant storefront on your own custom domain with SSL, a built-in catalog and checkout, and no code needed to get selling online.

Know Every Customer With a Built-In CRM

Customer profiles, order history, custom pricing, quotes, and follow-ups live in the same system as your register. When a regular walks in, your team can see what they buy and how they buy it — and pick the conversation back up right where it left off, without digging through a separate tool.

Delivery and Dispatch Without a Second App

Plan routes, assign drivers, and track deliveries live — from cart to doorstep — without bolting on a second app. Delivery and dispatch sit inside the same JellyPOS platform as your register and your online store, so an order placed online can be out the door and tracked all the way to the customer.

Quotes and Invoicing From the Same System

Create branded quotes, take payments, set up recurring billing programs, and send net-terms invoicing straight from the same orders. JellyPOS is one platform that grows with your business — register, online store, delivery and dispatch, wholesale and B2B, service and repair, and quotes and invoicing are all parts of it, so you can start with one and add the rest with no new software and no migration. Sales tax stays handled too, with Avalara automated sales-tax compliance and Zip-Tax address-accurate tax rates.

Retail types JellyPOS covers

Inside a bait and tackle shop — a pegboard wall of lures, racks of fishing rods, and a checkout counter with a POS terminal by the marina windows

Bait & Tackle

A tackle shop runs on thousands of small items, and JellyPOS keeps every count live. Hooks, line, and lures sold at the counter update your online store the same second, so what shows in stock is what's actually on the shelf.

Inside a food pantry — shelves stocked with canned goods and dry staples, crates of fresh produce, and paper grocery bags packed on tables for distribution

Food Pantries

One live inventory for everything on hand. Stock updates in real time as food comes in and goes out, and built-in delivery and dispatch tools help route distributions to the people and sites you serve.

For the Health of It grocery counter in Blue Mountain Beach on 30A — two POS stations on the stainless counter showing the For the Health of It logo, with the neighborhood grocery store and juice bar signage behind

Grocery Stores

Grocery lives on inventory accuracy. JellyPOS updates stock the moment an item sells, scans at checkout, and puts sales tax on autopilot through Avalara and Zip-Tax, with one catalog for the store and your online shop.

A Gateway team member in a black Gateway Payments t-shirt holding a payment terminal inside a clothing store, with racks of clothes behind her

Clothing

One catalog for the sales floor and your online store, with inventory that updates the moment a piece sells. Built-in customer records keep purchase history and follow-ups in one place, so regulars are easy to look after.

Furniture

Furniture sells on quotes and deliveries, not just the register. Build the quote, send the invoice, and schedule the delivery in the same system, with routes, drivers, and live tracking built in.

Recent Projects

New client installs by Gateway's Destin team — what we installed, where it went in, and how it helps the business run.

In short

As we continue to expand along the Gulf Coast, we let the work speak for itself. From Panama City to Pensacola, we provide point of sale systems for a wide variety of businesses: restaurants, retail stores, and service companies. Below are recent local installations.

Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce

Payment Terminal Fort Walton Beach

We've processed payments for the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce for the past eight years, and we've been Chamber members for 10 years. We provided the Chamber's original terminal, and when it reached end of life we upgraded them to the newest model — a dependable terminal for quick backup payments. We also integrate their payment processing with ChamberMaster to support membership payments.

Eden Market & Pantry

JellyPOS - Retail POS Fort Walton Beach

We set Eden Market & Pantry up with JellyPOS for their new neighborhood market in Fort Walton Beach.

A market like theirs does not run like a standard store. Everyday essentials and bulk refillery items sit alongside locally sourced foods and artisan goods, so we built their reporting around the way their market actually operates.

One system runs the counter and keeps their inventory current in real time, and our Destin team handled the installation and setup and provides their local support.

Destination Moving's fleet of moving trucks parked on the Emerald Coast — box trucks, trailers, and a pickup serving local moves

Destination Moving

Virtual Terminal Destin

We set Destination Moving up with a virtual terminal for invoicing and mobile payments for their crews on the road.

The office can create and send invoices and take card payments by phone, with no countertop register tying them down. And when a job wraps, the crew can take payment right at the customer's door — no waiting on checks or chasing balances after the truck leaves.

The switch also lowered what Destination Moving pays to process credit cards, so the business keeps more of every job.

It's the same setup that works for any Gulf Coast service business that bills around the job: invoicing from the office, payments in the field, lower processing costs, and local support from our Destin team.

Pack POS counter at What's Up Dog? in Miramar Beach — dual-screen point of sale with the What's Up Dog? logo on the customer-facing display, receipt printer, and card reader on the wooden counter

What's Up Dog

Pack POS - Pet Management Software Miramar Beach

We put Pack POS in at What's Up Dog? in Miramar Beach, replacing the Gingr system they were running before.

What's Up Dog? runs three businesses under one roof — dog daycare, a pet supply store, and training — and Pack POS brings the service side and the store side together in one pet management system: bookings and check-ins for daycare and training, retail checkout at the counter, and customer and pet records in one place.

For a pet business running services and retail side by side, that's the point of the switch: one system at the counter and behind it, instead of separate systems that don't talk to each other — with installation, training, and local support from our Destin team.

For the Health of It grocery counter in Blue Mountain Beach on 30A — two POS stations on the stainless counter showing the For the Health of It logo, with the neighborhood grocery store and juice bar signage behind

For The Health Of It

JellyPOS - Grocery Store POS 30A

We upgraded For the Health of It, a neighborhood organic grocery store and juice bar in Blue Mountain Beach on 30A, from Clover to JellyPOS.

We love Clover — but a grocery store lives on its inventory, and JellyPOS gives them more capability where it counts: real-time inventory management that updates the moment an item sells, so the count on the shelf and the count in the system stay the same.

The other reason for the switch is INFRA, the natural food retailers' cooperative. JellyPOS gives the store the capability to join the co-op — something their old setup couldn't support — and the buying power that comes with it, while staying independently owned.

For an independent grocery that has outgrown a basic register, that's the case for JellyPOS: grocery-grade inventory, room to grow, and local support from our Destin team.

Five Channels wrapped 6x6 truck in Destin — black, white, blue and green Five Channels Digital Marketing wrap with a man sitting on the hood

FiveChannels

Virtual Terminal Niceville

We set Five Channels up with a virtual terminal to run subscriptions with their clients.

Five Channels is a digital marketing company, one of the leaders in the local market, and their business runs on recurring billing — clients pay monthly, on subscriptions and retainers, not one-off counter sales. The virtual terminal runs those subscription payments on schedule, so billing happens automatically instead of someone chasing down a card every month.

The switch also gave them a good cost savings on processing, so more of every subscription stays with the business. For any company that bills clients month after month, that's the combination that matters: recurring payments that run themselves, a lower cost to process them, and local support from our Destin team.

Jalapeños Mexican Grill Express

Clover POS Miramar Beach and Payment Kiosk

We did a full Clover build-out for Jalapeño Mexican Grill Express, a new Mexican quick service concept at The Market Shops in Miramar Beach.

The build: two cashier stations at the counter, a self-order Clover kiosk, and a kitchen display system in the kitchen. Orders flow from the counter and the kiosk straight to the kitchen screen instead of paper tickets, so the line keeps moving and nothing gets lost between the register and the grill.

When it comes to quick service restaurants, we believe Clover dominates — it's fast at the register, easy for a new crew to learn, and it scales from the counter to the kiosk to the kitchen on one system. For a new concept opening its doors, that's the setup we'd build, installed and trained by our local Destin team.
