FAQ

Restaurant payment questions

How do you choose the right POS or payment setup?

We consult on your concept, service style, and volume first. Then we recommend a POS, terminal, or online flow that fits your operation — not a generic package.

Can you make the economics work for a small restaurant or truck?

Yes. We look at your real rates, ticket size, and cash flow to build a solution that fits your size, including flexible options when needed.

Can you work with my current POS?

Often, yes. We can integrate with or recommend the right POS for your service style and budget. Tell us what you run today.

How fast is funding?

Funding speed depends on your account setup, but we prioritize getting restaurants their deposits quickly to support cash flow.

Do zero-fee programs work for restaurants?

They can, when set up correctly for your state and card-brand rules. Dual pricing is popular in hospitality. We handle the compliance details.

Programs are subject to qualification, underwriting approval, processor/acquirer approval, card-brand rules, state laws, equipment terms, and signed merchant agreement. Zero-fee, surcharge, dual-pricing, or cash-discount programs must be configured and disclosed properly. Transactra provides payment solutions in partnership with approved processing partners.
