Card fees are eating a line cook's salary.
A restaurant doing $60K a month in card sales hands roughly $21K a year to processing at typical rates. That's most of a part-time salary, gone to fees. Our restaurant clients keep it instead.

What restaurants are up against
Fees on every check
3% of every card check, every day, forever. On thin restaurant margins that's frequently the difference between a good month and a flat one.
Tips complicate everything
Adjustments, pooling and payouts all have to clear processing correctly, and most setups quietly get it wrong.
Marketplace commissions
Third-party delivery takes 15-30% on top of processing. Direct online ordering claws that back.

Fair questions
Will guests react badly to dual pricing?
Both prices are on the menu before anyone orders, so there's no register surprise. Across our restaurant clients the questions fade within the first week.
How do tips work with dual pricing?
Normally. Tips ride the transaction at the price the guest chose, and adjustments work the way your staff already knows.
Can you replace my third-party delivery commissions?
We can't make DoorDash cheaper, but direct online ordering through your POS takes commission-free orders, and most restaurants shift meaningful volume to it.
What does switching cost during service?
Nothing, and we schedule the cutover for a slow afternoon. Menu, modifiers and gift balances migrate; staff get a walkthrough before the dinner rush.
Which POS should my restaurant pick?
Bar-heavy rooms lean Paradise or HotSauce. Modern multi-channel operations lean KwickPOS or Clover. The five-minute consult sorts it honestly.
