Card machines for restaurants for every service

Take card payments at tables, in the garden or at the counter. Choose to buy, mix or rent, with the same card rates for each option.

Card machines for restaurants need to keep pace with service, whether your team takes payment at the table or guests pay at the counter. Our portable PAX A920 Pro has a touchscreen, built-in receipt printer and an installed SIM for 4G, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also available. It accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Choose to buy, mix or rent, with the same rates for each option: 0.40% for debit cards and 0.80% for credit cards. We offer free next-day settlement, so your card takings reach your bank the next working day. Rates are fixed for the length of your term, and buying the terminal comes with no rental contract.

How our card machine fits your working day

Take payment at the table

During a busy dining service, staff can take the card machine to guests rather than ask them to queue at the till. That keeps payment close to the table and gives guests a straightforward way to pay when they have finished their meal.

Serve outdoor dining areas

When guests are seated in a garden or courtyard, staff can take payment there instead of bringing everyone back inside. Our portable terminal supports service away from the counter. Check the mobile signal and available Wi-Fi coverage in your outdoor dining area.

Keep counter service moving

At a busy lunch counter or takeaway collection point, a queue can build while orders are being handed over. A card machine at the counter gives guests a clear place to pay, helping your team handle collections alongside dine-in orders.

Connect with your EPOS system

If your restaurant uses an EPOS system to manage orders, check whether it works with our terminal before choosing your card payment setup. The PAX A920 Pro connects with many EPOS systems, and we can discuss your requirements when you speak with us.

A straightforward card machine for your restaurant

We were founded by Dave Evans, who ran a post office and village shop, while his wife ran a shop and café. Frustrated by hidden fees and poor service from larger providers, Dave set up our small UK company. You can speak to a real person in the UK about choosing a card machine for your restaurant.
