Our Cash Discount Program Reduces Costly Credit Card Processing Fees

Credit card payments may be convenient for customers but can reduce profitability. On average, credit card processing fees can cost restaurants 3-6% of their monthly sales. But with our cash discount program, your restaurant can incentivize customers to pay with cash rather than a credit or debit card. For those who still want to pay with a card, restaurants can also implement a surcharge, an additional fee per transaction, to pass any merchant service processing fees to the customer. Our cash discount merchant services enable restaurants to offer transparent pricing options that empower customers to decide how they want to pay. Better yet, it can eliminate or reduce 90% or more of credit card processing fees, significantly improving your bottom line.

How Does the Cash Discount Program Work?

The customer’s bill will include a line for a non-cash adjustment or surcharge to cover card processing fees. If they pay with cash, the surcharge is waived, saving you and the customer money. Rates are automatically applied, and fees or discounts are displayed on the receipt. The options should be clearly communicated with in-house signage.
