Restaurant payment solutions

There are a number of payment solutions for the foodservice industry, each tailored to specific needs. Here are the most popular:

1. Conventional payment terminals (TPE)

Fixed terminals are commonly used in restaurants, bars and cafés. These terminals accept credit card payments, including contactless payments.

Advantages: Fast and secure, easy to use. Can be rented for as little as €50.
Disadvantages: Need a fixed point of sale, limiting their mobility.

2. Mobile payment terminals (TPE mobiles)

Mobile Eftpos terminals are ideal for restaurants that need to be mobile, such as food trucks or establishments with room service. They enable you to accept payments anywhere, while offering the same security and reliability as conventional POS terminals.

Advantages: Flexibility and mobility, ideal for table service or takeaway.
Disadvantages : Requires a smartphone or tablet to operate, and may have limited autonomy.

3. Payment by QR Code

QR code payment is an increasingly popular option, particularly for online restaurants, deliveries or table payments. Customers scan a QR code with their smartphone, access the menu and make payment directly via the restaurant's mobile app.

Advantages : No contact necessary, quick and convenient process. Convenient for tipping.
Disadvantages: Requires good Internet coverage and a suitable payment management system.
