Quick-service restaurants

Quick-service restaurants are traditionally thought of as cash-based operations. But the ability to pay for fast food with a Visa card can have a variety of benefits - for you as well as your customers.

These range from greater convenience and better service for them to improved customer loyalty and higher transaction values for you.

Pilots in quick-service restaurants in the UK and US have shown that accepting Visa cards is good for business. The advantages include:
  • Significantly higher than average transaction amounts
  • More customers, more impulse buys by cardholders and increased trade from tourists
  • Stronger loyalty from cardholding customers
  • Better payment accuracy
  • Simpler reconciliation
  • Reduced cash-and cheque-handling charges
  • Greater security and lower risk of theft
  • Easy staff training
  • A competitive advantage in the crowded fast food sector
The next step
There are many financial institutions that can sign you up to accept Visa cards. Start by talking to your bank.
