Payment processing for Cafeteria
How cafeteria businesses get paid
Restaurants, bars and food businesses run on high transaction counts and thin margins, where card fees often cost more than the rent increase. Speed at the counter, tip handling and online orders matter as much as the rate.
Pay-at-the-table & handhelds
Turn tables faster and keep cards in the guest's sight with wireless handheld terminals.
Tips & tip pooling
Suggested tip prompts on screen, with tip reports that make payroll and pooling simple.
Online & QR ordering
Commission-free ordering pages and QR menus instead of 15–30% third-party app fees.
Bar tabs & pre-auths
Open tabs with a card on file and close them out in one tap at the end of the night.
Common payment challenges we solve
Fees on tips
Card fees apply to the tip too — a cash discount program covers the whole ticket.
Rush-hour lines
Fast EMV and contactless checkout keeps lines moving during peak hours.
Chargebacks on delivery
Signed receipts and order records help you win “I never got it” disputes.

Cafeteria payment questions
Can I keep using my delivery apps?
Yes. Delivery orders can flow into the same POS, and our own online ordering lets you skip commissions on direct orders.
How are tips handled with cash discount pricing?
The customer sees the card price, adds a tip, and the program covers the processing cost on the full amount.
