Payment processing that keeps up with your kitchen
Fast terminals. Built-in tip prompts. Tableside payments. And pricing that doesn't eat into your already-thin margins.
What restaurant owners deal with
Running a restaurant means thin margins on a good day. When your payment processor takes 3%+ on every transaction, it adds up to thousands a month — money that should be going to food costs, payroll, or your own pocket.
Most restaurant-focused processors lock you into long contracts with expensive POS leases and support that takes 45 minutes to reach a real person. Meanwhile, your terminal crashes during Friday dinner rush and nobody picks up.
How Clearo works for restaurants
Speed at the counter
Our terminals process chip and tap transactions in under 2 seconds. No lag during rush. No frozen screens. No customer standing there awkwardly.
Tip management built in
Configurable tip prompts on the terminal — percentage or dollar amount. Tip reporting rolls into your daily batch, clean and reconciled.
Tableside and QR payments
Wireless terminals your staff can bring to the table. Or generate a QR code for contactless ordering and payment.
Multi-location visibility
Own more than one location? See all transaction data in one dashboard. Compare volume, average ticket, and fees across sites.
Pricing that makes sense for volume
Restaurants process a high number of small-ticket transactions. Flat-rate pricing is brutally expensive at that volume. Interchange-plus saves you on every single tap.

"Our old processor was charging us over $4,200 a month in fees across two locations. Clearo got us down to $2,600 and the terminals are faster. I should have switched a year ago."
