Restaurant guest payments
Stripe payments. Your restaurant’s merchant account.
Stripe setup is available for restaurant guest payments. Your restaurant owns its merchant account and receives its own payouts. Processing fees are separate from your HospiEdge software subscription. Square activation is not currently offered.
Card payments need internet. Confirm your exact reader, country and connection before purchasing equipment.
Your software subscription and guest payments are separate.
Your account. Your payouts.
- Your restaurant owns and controls its supported merchant account.
- Your payment provider pays your restaurant; HospiEdge does not receive your ordinary guest-payment revenue.
- Cash and approved manual tenders remain available in supported POS workflows.
HospiEdge does not store full card numbers, security codes, magnetic-stripe data or PINs. The selected payment provider and its supported hardware handle card information.

Mobile readers and Tap to Pay are not currently offered.
Stripe Reader M2, BBPOS WisePad 3 and Square Reader for contactless and chip are not currently offered for customer use. The required HospiEdge Station customer release and physical-device validation are not complete.
Do not buy a phone, tablet or reader expecting to use Tap to Pay with HospiEdge. Confirm availability before making an equipment purchase.
Cash and approved manual tenders do not require a card reader. A full cash station normally uses a supported receipt printer and printer-driven drawer. A cashless restaurant using digital receipts may not need a drawer.
Plan receipts, labels and cash handlingKeep card payments online.
HospiEdge card processing requires internet. If a payment screen is interrupted, check the recorded outcome before trying again. An interrupted screen does not prove the payment failed.
Keep card information with the provider. Never write down card numbers or security codes for later entry.
