Card payments for hospitality

Restaurants, bakeries, delis, wine bars and gastropubs all take payments differently. The right setup should match service, not the other way round.

Table-side and counter service

Portable terminals that stay connected across the venue keep service moving at busy covers, while a reliable counter terminal handles quick takeaway and retail sales.

Tips and service charge

Make sure tipping is handled at the terminal in a way your team and your accountant are happy with, and that it is reported clearly in your settlements.

Cash flow and settlement

Faster settlement matters when you are paying suppliers weekly. We factor settlement speed into every comparison alongside cost.

Multi-site

Running several venues usually means better pricing is available across the group. Request a free comparison and we will review each site.
