Thai Restaurants card machine questions
Can one terminal cover lunch and dinner?
Yes. One handheld covers both services. Sites with a busy collection counter usually add a second terminal at £14 a month to keep reporting separate.
Does it work across the whole room?
Yes. It runs on WiFi with automatic 4G fallback, so it keeps working in corners of the room where the WiFi signal is weak.
How are tips handled?
A tip prompt can be enabled or turned off. When it is on, tips are reported separately from sales so they are simple to distribute.
What if we close for a holiday?
You pay nothing while you are closed. There is no monthly rental or minimum charge, so a two-week closure costs you nothing.
How soon can we start?
Usually a few working days from approval. The terminal arrives configured and ready to take its first payment.
