Why Maitre’D Payments
Restaurant payments, built around how you operate
Restaurant payments involve more than processing transactions. Designed for the pace and demands of restaurant service, Maitre’D Payments works with Maitre’D POS from the first order to the end-of-day report.
Built for restaurant service
Take payments wherever your guests are. Accept all major payment methods and handle what restaurants need at checkout, from tips and split bills to service charges and room charges.
Your POS and payments, working as one
Send the amount directly from your POS to the terminal, so staff don’t have to key it in again. With compatible handheld devices, your team can take orders and payments on the same device.
Reconciliation without manual work
Match payments to sales automatically, so your records and reports reflect what was paid. Spend less time on end-of-day checks and identify discrepancies sooner.
Reliability designed for restaurants
Keep payments moving through busy services with terminals built for restaurant environments, backed by Maitre’D installation and 24/7 local support.
