Payments built for restaurants & cafés.

Tickets move fast, tips need to flow to the right people, and the printer can't pick tonight to act up. The right setup keeps the line moving and the close-out clean.

What makes restaurants different

The payment edge cases that show up every shift.

Tips, splits, and pooling

Servers, bartenders, bussers — the tip flow has to land in the right pocket on the right schedule. Your processor and POS need to talk to each other so payouts are clean and tax-clean.

Speed at the rush

A two-minute auth lag at 7:14pm on a Friday is a lost table. We pick hardware and processors that hold up at peak — and have a Plan B when the internet hiccups.

Takeout, delivery, and online orders

Toast, DoorDash, Olo, Square Online — every channel adds another rate and another reconciliation. Setups that pull it all into one daily report stop the bleeding.

Course timing & pay-at-the-table

Fire courses cleanly, send the table the check on a tablet, let them tip and tap. Faster turn times. Fewer "where's our server" moments.

What we set up

The typical restaurant stack.

Counter, kitchen, online — matched to your concept and headcount. None of it locked-in unless it's earning its keep.

01

Full-service POS

Toast, Clover, SpotOn, or Square for Restaurants — picked on your menu structure, table count, and how much custom kitchen routing you need. Course timing, modifiers, voids tracked by reason.

02

Pay-at-the-table tablets

Hand the check, tap, tip, done. Server keeps moving. Average turn time drops a real 4-7 minutes per table on a busy night.

03

Online ordering & delivery sync

Native or third-party (DoorDash Drive, Olo, ChowNow) — everything funneled into one POS so your team isn't reading off four tablets during the rush.

04

Gift cards, loyalty & multi-location reporting

Gift cards that work across all your locations. Loyalty that doesn't require a customer email. One dashboard for the GM and one for the owner.

We were paying for three different services that all did almost the same thing. Raquel walked us through what we actually needed, swapped our terminals, and saved us almost $400 a month — without changing how the front of house works.
