Industries
Card processing for local businesses.
These are the six kinds of business we set up most, and what changes at the counter for each one.
Restaurants and quick service
Highest card volume and thinnest margin, so a fee program pays fastest here. Menus need reprinting for dual pricing, and tips have to calculate on the higher total.
Auto repair and body shops
Big tickets, few transactions. A percentage fee hurts most on a $2,400 invoice. The counter sign handles the discount, and phone approvals need care.
Salons, barbers, nail and lash studios
Card heavy and appointment based. The work is getting the tip prompt right so staff are not shorted and the owner is not eating the difference.
Independent retail
Posted prices and walk in traffic. The cleanest fit for a straight cash discount, and the least disruption if your tags are already printed.
Contractors and trades
Mostly phone approvals and invoices, some readers in the field. You need a terminal that works on a bad signal and a virtual terminal for the office.
Dental, chiro and medical offices
Insurance plus patient responsibility means split payments and large balances. The math is simple, but the front desk has to explain it the same way every time.
We work out of Park Ridge: Niles, Des Plaines, Edison Park, Norwood Park, Morton Grove, Glenview, Skokie and the northwest side of Chicago.
Outside that, we will still talk. Being able to drive to your counter is the one thing a call center cannot do.
