What is a Restaurant Merchant Account?
A restaurant merchant account is different from any other merchant account because you may need tip functionality for your servers. So what is a merchant account? A merchant account is what allows you to accept and process credit card orders. It is an account that a business establishes with a bank or other financial institution who agrees to pay the business—the merchant—for valid credit card transactions. In return, the bank collects the obligation owed by the customer. Credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard require all businesses to obtain merchant accounts because it transfers the financial responsibility from the potentially unstable business to a firmly-established, financially dependable institution.
