Restaurant owners are frustrated with cash discount and zero-fee processing programs that complicate pricing, confuse customers, and create employee stress, rather than simply treating processing as a built-in business expense.

Workarounds Described

• Manually calculating processing costs from monthly statements
• Creating a separate reserve fund for processing fees by moving money aside manually
• Increasing menu prices manually across the board to cover processing costs

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated processing fee reserve that moves funds without manual intervention
• Menu price optimization tool that suggests price increases based on actual processing costs
• Integrated POS that ensures one price across all payment methods without surcharge

FeeTransparent POS

FeeTransparent POS is a payment processing and POS solution that eliminates cash discount programs and surcharges. It automatically calculates the true processing cost per transaction and allows restaurant owners to build that cost into menu prices, so all customers pay the same posted price regardless of payment method.
