Restaurant payments

Your margins deserve a better payment plan.

Compare your processing costs and pricing options with a plan built around your restaurant.

More than one way to protect your margin.

Balance the economics with what guests see at checkout.

Keep checkout familiar

Merchant-paid pricing

Guests see one price. Your restaurant pays the processing expense.

Review your rate structure, markup, transaction fees, and recurring costs for a better overall fit.

Show the choice upfront

Dual pricing

Display cash and card prices before the guest chooses how to pay.

Explore a supported program that accounts for card acceptance costs in the card price.

Reward cash payments

Cash discount

Offer a discount from the posted standard price when an eligible guest pays cash.

Make the cash incentive clear while reviewing the effect on your costs and guest experience.

Offset eligible credit costs

Credit-card surcharge

Add a disclosed surcharge to eligible credit-card transactions through an approved setup.

Offset eligible credit acceptance costs. Debit and prepaid cards cannot be surcharged under Visa and Mastercard rules.

Availability depends on your location, processor, POS, and program approval. We confirm the rules, disclosures, and implementation before you switch. These options do not automatically eliminate all fees.

A rate is only part of the price.

Ticket size, card mix, and payment channels all shape the result.

See the markup.

Interchange-plus separates underlying costs from processor markup. Make the pieces easier to compare.

Keep it straightforward.

Flat or blended pricing can simplify the rate structure. Check the total against your restaurant’s transaction mix.

Compare the full proposal.

Review custom structures where available, including per-transaction charges, recurring fees, equipment, and contract terms.

Your account pricing and the guest’s payment-method pricing are separate choices. We review them together.

Counter. Table. Bar. Takeout.

Pricing has to work where you actually take payments.

Do I need a new POS to work with Kuhudu?

Start with what you use today. We check compatibility and explain what can stay before recommending a change. If you’re also evaluating a POS, we can walk through Genius for Restaurants.

How will a pricing program affect my guests?

We review the full experience: menus and posted prices, payment choices, tips, receipts, and connected ordering channels. The program should be understood before the guest pays.

What do you need to review my pricing?

Your current POS, a description of how you serve, and a recent processing statement are a useful starting point. Contact us first for a secure way to share statements.

Can you quote one rate right now?

A useful quote starts with your card mix, sales volume, average ticket, payment channels, and technology. We compare the total cost rather than lead with a percentage that leaves out the rest.
