Flexible Payments for Every Type of Food Service

Payment Processing for Restaurants, Cafés and Food Businesses

Restaurants need payment technology that works across different ordering and service environments. Customers may pay at a counter, dining table, bar, food truck, catered event, pickup location, or through an online ordering system. Quality Payment Systems provides restaurant payment processing for eligible food businesses that need convenient ways to accept credit and debit card payments.

Available options include countertop terminals, compatible POS systems, mobile payment devices, virtual terminals, digital invoices, and online payment gateways. These restaurant merchant services can support dine-in purchases, takeout orders, catering deposits, event charges, merchandise sales, and other eligible customer transactions.

QPS helps restaurant owners evaluate payment solutions according to their service model, transaction volume, average customer purchase, payment locations, and preferred checkout process.

Merchant Services for Different Food Businesses

Built for Dine-In, Takeout, Mobile and Event-Based Businesses

A full-service restaurant does not process customer payments the same way as a food truck, coffee shop, bar, or catering company. The appropriate food business payment processing setup depends on customer traffic, ordering channels, transaction volume, checkout locations, and available equipment.

Quality Payment Systems helps eligible food businesses compare merchant account and payment technology options for their specific operations. Solutions can support fixed business locations, mobile food service, customer events, telephone orders, invoice payments, and online transactions.

Full-Service Restaurants

Process table, counter, takeout, catering, and guest payments through convenient in-person and digital payment channels.

Quick-Service Restaurants

Keep checkout moving during busy service periods with terminals, contactless payments, and efficient transaction processing.

Cafés and Coffee Shops

Accept payments for drinks, meals, merchandise, takeout orders, catering, and other everyday customer purchases conveniently.

Bars and Breweries

Food Trucks and Mobile Vendors

Accept Payments Across Every Service Channel

From the Counter and Dining Table to Events and Online Checkout

Restaurants frequently collect payments through more than one customer channel. QPS offers restaurant credit card processing options for businesses serving customers inside their location, away from their premises, or through remote ordering channels.

At the counter

Accept card and contactless payments using compatible countertop terminals or POS equipment.

At the table

Use supported portable payment devices when tableside payment acceptance fits your service model.

For takeout and pickup

Process customer payments when orders are placed or collected.

At catered events

Use compatible mobile payment equipment at customer venues and temporary service locations.

By telephone

Enter eligible card-not-present orders through a secure virtual terminal.

Online

Accept supported website payments using compatible payment gateways or integrated checkout tools.

Using appropriate payment channels can make checkout more convenient for customers while giving restaurant owners payment options suited to different ordering and service situations.

How to Open a Restaurant Merchant Account

A Simple Path from Payment Review to Merchant Account Approval

Opening a restaurant merchant account begins with identifying how the business serves customers and accepts payments. A dine-in restaurant, mobile food vendor, and catering company may require different equipment, processing channels, and account configurations.

Step 1 — Explain Your Restaurant Operations

Provide your food-business type, locations, estimated monthly volume, average transaction amount, and current payment channels.

Step 2 — Review Payment Options

Compare suitable POS systems, countertop terminals, mobile devices, virtual terminals, online gateways, and eligible processing programs.

Step 3 — Complete the Application

Submit the required business, ownership, banking, and processing information for merchant account review and underwriting.

QPS can help explain available equipment and application requirements. Approval is not automatic. Merchant account approval, transaction limits, funding schedules, equipment availability, and processing terms depend on business eligibility, sales methods, processing history, underwriting, and applicable program requirements.
