Restaurants

Saturday, 8 p.m.: every move counts — including the one at the register.

Small tickets, short rush periods, tight staffing: in the restaurant business, the payment moment decides whether a table turns over in two minutes or in ten. Just as quietly, your terminal statement decides how much of a €25 check actually stays with you. We compare all major providers, run the numbers on your real figures, and tell you where you are overpaying — free of charge and with no provider ties.

Guest paying contactless at the cafe counter on a modern POS terminal

What makes the difference in your business

Take payment at the table, not at the counter

A mobile terminal with LTE, bill splitting, table transfers right at the guest. Your servers save the walk for every table — on a busy night, that adds up to hours.

Tips that actually reach your team

The guest enters the amount on the terminal, and your system records it separately from revenue. It only stays tax-free if it reaches the server directly rather than running through payroll — your terminal has to keep that separation clean.

Rates that fit small checks

At an average check of €25, a fixed per-transaction fee weighs heavier than any percentage rate. We calculate rental, service fees, and contract term against your actual check structure — not against a textbook example.

Downtime is not an option

A replacement-device policy and a support hotline that actually picks up belong in the contract, not in the fine print. We check what your provider really commits to on a Friday night.

In 2025, girocard (Germany’s debit card) was used 8.3 billion times — in December, 88.5% of those payments were contactless. Your guests expect it to take two seconds. And to work.
