Restaurant Credit Card
Processing & POS Systems

Card fees can quietly take 3 to 4% of every check. PayMint helps restaurants, cafes and food trucks cut those costs with dual pricing, then sets you up with a POS built for how your kitchen runs. No contracts, no leases, and a local agent who knows your restaurant by name.

The Payment Problems Restaurants Deal With Every Day

Every one of these is fixable without changing how guests order or how your kitchen works.

Card fees eating your margin.

When your profit is 3 to 5% on a good month, giving up 3 to 4% of every sale to processing is the difference between a profitable year and a break-even one.

Tips that cost you money.

Guests add tips on cards, and you pay processing on that amount too, then have to track and report it for payroll.

Slow turns at the table.

Running cards back and forth to a counter terminal adds minutes to every check on your busiest nights.

Delivery-app commissions.

Delivery apps can take 15 to 30% of an order. Taking online orders directly keeps that money in your restaurant.

Contracts & leased equipment.

Many restaurants are still paying monthly on a terminal they could have owned outright years ago, with an early termination fee waiting if they try to leave.

Confusing statements.

Pages of codes and line items make it nearly impossible to know what you actually pay.

Dual Pricing vs. Cash Discount:
What Works Best
For Restaurants

Both programs eliminate credit card processing fees by passing savings along to cash-paying guests. The ideal choice comes down to your menu format and how your guests order.

With dual pricing, guests see cash and card prices displayed side-by-side on your menu, check presenter, and terminal. With a cash discount, your menu lists one regular price and a discount is automatically applied when guests pay with cash.

Restaurant Payment Processing FAQ

Is dual pricing legal for restaurants? +
Yes. Dual pricing is permitted nationwide when both the cash price and the card price are clearly shown to guests before they pay. We set up compliant menu wording, signage and receipts for you.
Will my guests be upset about seeing two prices? +
Rarely. Most guests are used to cash and card prices from gas stations, and the choice is theirs. We train your staff with a simple one-sentence answer for the occasional question.
How are tips handled with dual pricing? +
Guests add tips the same way they always have. Your POS tracks every tip automatically and gives you reports that are ready for payroll.
Can I keep my current POS system? +
Often, yes. Some pricing programs need compatible equipment, so we'll check your current setup first. If it doesn't work, qualified restaurants can get new hardware at no upfront cost.
Do I have to sign a contract? +
No. PayMint never locks you into a long-term contract or an equipment lease. You stay because the service is good, not because you have to.
