Restaurant Merchant Accounts

BankCard USA works closely with restaurateurs so that they can focus on excellent guest experiences instead of a complicated payment process. Customize your credit card processing solution a la carte.

Restaurants, bars and quick service establishments have a unique set of requirements when it comes to merchant services. They need credit card processing solutions that are reliable, easy to use and efficient to keep up with fast paced, customer-centric environments. Since profit margins tend to be lower than other industries, we understand that merchant account costs for a restaurant must reflect that.

Here are a few reasons why we can minimize your processing costs and max out your profit margins:

• Restaurants’ risk of chargebacks is relatively low, translating to lower processing costs
• We offer B2B level 2 and 3 processing at a reduced interchange rate so you can save money when you stock the shelves
• All of our equipment is EMV compliant to keep fraud at bay
• All of our payment solutions are PCI compliant. We also walk you through the annual PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) to ensure your operations are up to date with security best practices. This further reduces your risk of fraud losses.
• We customize payment solutions so you pay for no more or less than exactly what you need
• We offer integration support so that your credit card processing system works seamlessly with other applications, including those for inventory, accounting and CRM, freeing up your and your employees’ valuable time to focus on diners
• There are no hidden fees

Simplicity, Security and Convenience

Patrons want to pay their tabs quickly, easily and safely—and our payment systems are designed to do just that. We offer intuitive countertop POS systems, standalone terminals, and wireless solutions that allow patrons to pay at the table, adding convenience and peace of mind. If you also want to accept payments online for takeout, catering, products and other services, we offer online payment gateways so customers can pay on your website or pay for an order over the phone. Mobile processing solutions are another practical option if you’re selling off-site.

With a restaurant credit card processing solution and merchant account from BankCard USA, you get more than a way to accept credit cards. You get an efficient hub around which your business can run smoothly.

Cloud Based Options

Cloud-based POS terminals  are practical investments for restaurants, particularly chains. Instead of maxing out storage on an onsite server, you can delegate your entire system to a vendor-supplied offsite network of servers and allow authorized users to access it from any internet-enabled device. All transaction and database input from different locations applies to the cloud-based system in real time, and cutting-edge security technology keeps sensitive data safe. Our most popular cloud-based restaurant solutions are Clover’s POS products . They are perfect for any business, chain or not, that wants some serious POS functionality.

Enhance the Payment Experience

On top of exceptional food, customers value top-notch customer service. That includes the payment experience. Turn first-time diners into regulars with an end-to-end dining experience that’s efficient and modernized. From food trucks to fine dining establishments, we can customize a feature-rich payment processing solution that allows you to serve more satisfied customers.
