Built for the floor, not the call centre.

Hospitality is unforgiving — a slow terminal at the table loses tips, a stalled card machine on a Saturday night loses the whole shift. We build payment setups around the workflow: portable terminals where your staff are, robust connectivity (4G fallback as standard), and a Dublin phone number that picks up when something glitches.

Restaurants

Table-side portable terminals lift average tip by 8–12% and cut service time. Tip processing splits gratuities cleanly for payroll. POS integration with Lightspeed, Toast, Square, TouchBistro.

  • Bluetooth-paired or 4G portable terminals
  • Tip + gratuity split processing
  • Next-day funding (most days)
  • POS integration ready
  • From 0.15% card-present, €18/mo terminal
Hotels

Pre-auth deposits at booking. Card holds with delayed capture. All outlets — front desk, F&B, spa, events — on one MID for clean monthly reporting. PMS integration with Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds.

  • Pre-auth + delayed capture for room holds
  • Multi-outlet single-MID consolidated reporting
  • PMS integration (Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier)
  • Booking-engine pay-by-link for deposits
  • Tier-2 acquirer pricing for established hotels
Bars & Pubs

Speed-first terminals built for back-of-bar volume. Cocktail-menu rounds, split bills, contactless tipping. Reliable Wi-Fi backup with 4G fallback for venues with patchy connectivity.

  • Speed-optimised back-of-bar terminals
  • Split-bill and round-handling
  • Contactless tipping (default-off if preferred)
  • 4G fallback as standard
  • Late-shift support — Dublin number, no call centre
TABLE-SIDE PAYMENTS

Pay-at-the-table changes the maths on tips.

When the terminal comes to the customer, three things happen: service time drops 4–7 minutes per cover, the customer feels the experience is faster (even when it isn't), and the average tip lifts 8–12% because the prompt sits right in front of them while the meal is still fresh in mind.

For a 60-cover restaurant doing two seatings, that's an extra €240–€400 per shift in tips, plus a tightened service pace that lets you turn another table. The kit cost — typically 2 to 4 portable terminals — pays back inside 60 days.

PMS & POS INTEGRATION

Your sales already live in a system. We just connect to it.

If you're running Lightspeed, Toast, Square, TouchBistro, Opera, Mews, or Cloudbeds — we connect the merchant account to it directly. That means every card transaction appears in your POS report alongside the sale that produced it. No more reconciling settlement reports against POS reports against the bank statement.

For multi-outlet hotels, everything settles to one MID with clean per-outlet breakdowns. The bookkeeper gets a single CSV per month instead of five.

Frequently asked questions

Hospitality payments — straight answers.

What are the best payment systems for restaurants in Ireland?
Irish restaurants need three things: (1) table-side portable terminals so customers tap-and-go at their seat (cuts service time and lifts average tip by 8–12%), (2) tip processing that splits gratuities cleanly between staff for payroll, and (3) integration with the POS (Lightspeed, Toast, Square, TouchBistro) so transactions sync with your sales reports automatically. CFS Ireland sets up Worldpay or Elavon terminals with bluetooth-paired POS and next-day funding. Effective card rate typically lands between 0.4% and 0.9% — most restaurants we onboard save €300–€700/month vs their bank-bundled package.
What payment solutions work best for Irish hotels?
Irish hotels need a payment setup that handles four flows: (1) deposit pre-authorisations at booking, (2) check-in card holds with delayed capture, (3) front-desk and bar/restaurant terminals on the same merchant account for consolidated reporting, and (4) PMS integration with Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, or Little Hotelier. We use Worldpay or Elavon for hotels — both have mature integrations with the major PMS platforms — and we keep all outlets (front desk, F&B, spa, events) on one MID so monthly reconciliation is one report, not five.
