Credit Card Processing | DirecTouch Do It Yourself Restaurant Point of Sale FAQs
Can I use my existing credit card company?
Are there better options to process credit cards?
Can I use my Internet connection to process credit cards?
Credit cards have long been a part of the hospitality industry. In recent years they have taken hold even in the traditional cash rich fast food and quick service industries.
In some instances credit cards can be as much as 80% - 90% of a restaurants business. This creates a demand on processing that is easily met by today's point of sale systems.
Processing through a single independent credit card terminal that is often supplied by the processing company for a fee is cumbersome and creates a backlog of people trying to use the device. This device is also usually connected to a standard phone line, thus creating conflicts with fax machines and other regular telephone uses. On top of that, it can be a slow process taking up to 30 seconds to get a response.
Many restaurants now are in areas where a high-speed Internet connection is available. More and more credit card processors are using high-speed Internet connections to process credit cards. This takes the response time from the 30-second range down to less than 2-seconds.
DirecTouch Point of Sale comes standard with an interface to Mercury Payment Systems, one of the nation's leading restaurant credit card processors. They do not charge for their software interface and only require a high-speed connection at your restaurant to provide this super fast service.
