Restaurant Merchant Accounts are required for business owners in the food service industry. They would agree that accepting credit cards is crucial to their business success. The choices we have available to process credit cards for restaurant owners are endless. For most restaurant business owners, a credit card processing system must include the ability to accept tips, coupons, gift cards and more.
Additionally, there are so many different types of food restaurants that we understand, a “one-size-fits-all” solution may not work. This is why we have access to credit card processing solutions that are flexible to meet the unique needs of our restaurant owner’s. It doesn’t matter what type of restaurant you run, we are confident we can find the best solution for you.
When building a customized merchant account solution for our restaurant owner’s, we always start by categorizing the type of restaurant business you own. We can typically break down restaurants into two categories: a quick service restaurant or a dining restaurant. We have different Restaurant Merchant Accounts solutions that can benefit both types of restaurants.
If your business is a quick service restaurant, your main goal is speed, or getting the customers their food as quickly as possible. This is typically the umbrella that fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King etc. fall under. Food is typically priced a little lower than dining restaurants. The service at quick service restaurants is almost considered a “do-it-yourself” solution. Customers order off a menu, then pick up the food themselves. They must also refill their own drinks as well as manage their own condiments.
With dining restaurants, the emphasis is placed on the unique dining experience rather than speed. Dining restaurants can be further broken down into fine dining and casual dining. These restaurants are both characterized by the personalized service they offer to their customers. Most of the time the customers will be assigned a waiter/waitress that will attend to their needs. Casual dining is typically less expensive than fine dining.
Identifying the category that your restaurant falls under can help us offer solutions that will best meet your needs. Some of the solutions we offer for restaurants include:
A Point of Sale System is customized to help take care of your restaurant customers from the beginning of the ordering process to the end of the dining experience. Our Point of Sale systems include:
Software that includes a table management program to help you keep track of customers coming and going and identifying which tables are available for new customers. The software will also keep track of reservations and can help to manage waiting lists.
A simple order screen that is intuitive to your employees that are entering a customer’s order. They can easily customize orders, combine orders or split orders.
An employee management system with an employee time tracking card. The software can also work with your accounting software to help you accurately keep track of payroll.
Along with the POS system for Restaurant Merchant Accounts we can make sure you have all the accessories you may need for your POS system including card readers, monitors, cash drawers, printers and more.
POS Systems for restaurants also include a detailed sales reporting system. Some of the reports include:

Systems that allow for online ordering are becoming more popular as customers are finding it extremely convenient to order their food from the comfort of their own home. SecureGlobalPay can set you up with the right system that will alert you when an order is placed online. The system will also collect payment for the order so all you have to worry about is making sure the food is ready to go for pick-up.
Putting the responsibility of ordering food into the customer’s hands with tableside ordering has been extremely successful for our customers. It’s a revolutionary way for customers to place a customized order right from the comfort of their table. It also helps to ensure customers that you take credit card security seriously. A customer has the option to run their credit card directly from the table instead of handing it over to a stranger for processing.
