Why Restaurant Payment Processing Is Different
- Tip management. Servers need to add tips after the card is authorized. Your POS needs to handle pre-auth, tip adjust, and tip pooling without manual workarounds.
- Tableside payments. Diners increasingly expect to pay at the table — tableside terminals reduce table turn time and improve the guest experience.
- Split checks. A four-top wants to split three ways with two cards and cash. If your POS can't handle that fast, your server is stuck during the dinner rush.
- High card volume. Portland restaurants typically see 75-90% card transactions. At a 2.5-3.5% processing rate, a restaurant doing $50K/month loses $15,000-$21,000 per year to processing fees alone.
- POS integration. The payment terminal needs to talk to the kitchen display, ordering system, and back-office reporting in real time.
