Payment Solutions for UK Restaurants & Cafés
From tableside payments to integrated tipping, explore the best payment technology for hospitality businesses looking to improve customer experience.
Modern Payment Technology for UK Hospitality
The restaurant and café sector has seen dramatic changes in how customers pay.
Tableside Payment Terminals
Tableside terminals deliver faster table turnover, reduced payment queues, better customer experience, and staff can upsell while processing payment.
Digital Tipping
The decline of cash has created challenges for service industry tipping. Modern solutions include prompted tip screens, tip distribution software, and direct-to-staff systems.
Integrated EPOS Systems
Restaurants are moving toward fully integrated systems that combine order taking, kitchen display systems, payment processing, inventory management, and staff scheduling.
Split Billing
Modern terminals allow splitting by item or equal amounts. QR code payment allows each diner to pay their portion.
Cost Considerations
Average payment processing costs for hospitality range from 1.2% to 1.9% per card payment, plus terminal rental of £15 to £30 per month per device.
