Restaurant Tablet Mounts: 3, 4 or 5 Tablet Stations

Product specifications and listed USD prices checked September 8, 2026. This guide is based on published specifications; no physical testing was performed for this revision. Check current availability and the selected variant before ordering.

The order station should make each screen easy to find. If three delivery tablets, a house ordering tablet and a kitchen display are scattered across a counter, start by deciding which screens belong together. Then choose a mount around the actual devices, available surface and staff reach.

iBOLT Tablet Tower clamp kits provide three, four or five tablet positions on an adjustable pole. The choice below is for a mechanical multi-tablet station. It does not include tablets, payment software, chargers or a powered docking system. A tablet running a delivery application must still fit its holder with the everyday case attached.

Choose the number of tablet positions

Count the physical devices that need to remain visible, rather than assuming every app needs its own tablet. Three devices call for the three-holder kit. Four devices call for the four-holder kit. Choose five positions when five devices are actually part of the workflow, or when the layout has room for a planned addition.

The table identifies the standard TabDock variants. TabDockXL options have different SKUs and prices. Do not apply the standard holder dimensions to an XL selection without checking its variant-specific fit.

Measure the tablet, case and counter first

For the standard holders, the product pages publish a 4 to 8 inch holder opening and 0.2 to 0.9 inch depth range. Measure the device with its case, protective corners and any attached accessories. Check the dimension across the gripping points in the intended insertion orientation, then check that rotating the tablet leaves buttons, cameras and charging ports usable.

A screen diagonal such as 10.9 inches does not establish fit. Two tablets with the same advertised diagonal can have different external dimensions, and a rugged case changes them again. The product pages also use broad width wording; treat that as a description of the open-sided holder, not a promise that every wide tablet is suitable.

The clamp listings describe flat surfaces up to 2.5 inches wide. Confirm the relevant clamp opening, jaw contact and counter edge with iBOLT before ordering, especially if the edge is rounded, has a deep lip or leaves little access below. The published pole extension is 17.5 to 28.5 inches. Allow additional space for the tablets and their viewing angles. A complete assembled footprint and total supported device load are not established by the pole length alone.

Know what the kit adds to the station

The three-holder listing includes three TabDock holders, two pole grip adapters, a top adapter, an extension pole and a pole clamp base. It also lists a drill base while describing that base as optional elsewhere, so confirm the packed contents if drilling is central to your plan. The four- and five-holder listings include the additional holders and adapters needed for those configurations, along with a pole clamp base and listed drill base.

These are open mechanical holders. Their four contact points retain a tablet, but that is different from a keyed locking enclosure. If devices will be unattended or accessible to customers, compare a dedicated locking setup in the restaurant collection. A multi-tablet clamp kit should not be described as theft-proof or as having a key lock that is not listed.

Plan power separately. Use the power adapters and cables suitable for your devices, leave clearance at each connector, and keep the cable route clear of food handling and cleaning areas. Holding a tablet does not mean that the mount charges it. Check the power arrangement with your equipment provider when several tablets share a station.

Place the station around the work

At an expo or delivery handoff point, arrange the screens in the order staff use them. Leave room to acknowledge an order, remove a tablet when necessary and clean the surface below. Try the intended height and viewing angles with the actual staff before committing to a permanent mounting position.

For a wall-mounted station, review an appropriate wall-mount product and its substrate requirements. A clamp kit is not automatically a wall kit. For a customer-facing POS terminal, check device-specific cases, payment accessories, locking needs and connector clearance separately. The number of available tablet positions is only one part of the decision.

Record the chosen SKU, tablet and case models, surface measurements and cable route in the installation handoff. That gives a second location a useful starting point and makes later replacement orders easier. New locations still need their own fit check.
