The size of your restaurant is going to determine how many credit card terminals you will need to utilize on your merchant account. You may want to only have one check out, but for your customer’s convenience, you can actually consider running the credit card right from his table, or from a wait-station closer to where he is seated. This lessens the amount of time that the customer will have to wait once he is ready to pay the bill and leave.
A happy customer is a customer who will return again soon.
Your merchant account can make the check-out process seamless and efficient. Transactions are done quickly, and there is even an option to add the tips to the bill after the authorization occurs, or to add the bill from the bar to the dinner bill. Once your diner is done, there’s no sense adding a dose of irritation to his dessert and coffee.
