Tips that cost you extra
On tiered pricing, a tip added after the card is authorized can push the sale into a more expensive tier.
How we handle itGuests pick the tip on the terminal before the sale goes through, so it rides on one clean transaction.
The card leaves the table
Walking cards to the back slows table turns and makes guests nervous.
How we handle itHandheld terminals take tap, chip and the tip right at the table and print the receipt there.
Rewards cards marked up twice
Premium rewards cards already carry the highest interchange, and tiered pricing adds a surcharge on top.
How we handle itOn Premium you pay their actual interchange with no markup. On Hybrid, guests paying by credit cover it.
