Pay at the table
A portable terminal goes to the guest, so cards never leave their sight and the bill is settled in seconds.
Card machines for restaurants
Take payment at the table, keep turning tables over, and see every sale and tip in one place. A card machine set up for how restaurants actually work.
What restaurants need
Built for table service
Restaurant payments happen at the table, often with bills split several ways. Your card machine needs to keep up.
Split bills without fuss
Take several payments against one bill, one card at a time, without going back to the till.
Next-day settlement
Last night's takings in your bank the next working day, ready for suppliers and wages.

What card machine is best for a restaurant?
For table service, a portable terminal like the PAX A920 Pro lets staff take payment at the table, with a receipt printed on the spot. If guests pay at a counter, a countertop terminal like the PAX A35 linked to your EPOS works well.
Can I take deposits for bookings and events?
Yes. You can send a secure pay-by-link request by text or email, or take the payment over the phone, so deposits are paid before the guest arrives.
Can customers split the bill?
Yes. You can take several card payments against one bill, one after another, on the same terminal.
Can I switch if I'm still in a contract?
Often, yes. Send us your statement and we'll look into it. In some cases, subject to approval, we can help with the exit fee.
