Takeaways card machine questions
Can our delivery driver take card payments on the doorstep?
Yes. A portable terminal on 4G lets a driver take contactless payment at the door, cutting cash-on-delivery no-shows.
Will it slow down on a busy Friday night?
No. Contactless payments process in seconds even during a forty-order-an-hour rush.
What if takings drop in a quiet month?
There's no minimum monthly service charge, so quieter weeks after the holidays don't cost extra.
How much for a second machine for delivery?
Additional terminals are £14 a month each, useful for running one at the counter and one with the driver.
How soon do Saturday night takings reach our account?
Payments settle the next working day, including Saturdays, so your busiest night isn't stuck till Monday.
