I own a pizza shop along with my father. It is take out/delivery only, and has been open since 1992, and isnt doing too bad especially in this economy. My dad is pretty old school and was/is against credit cards, as a pizza shop is primarily a cash business. Well, as of late, everyone and thier mother wants to pay using a card. I couldnt let potential/frequent customers stray from my shop, so ive been calling some credit card orders in over the phone to a merchant service type thing. This is all fine and dandy, but for deliveries, i have to take the card number down over the phone, and sometimes we make mistakes, especially with the volume of cards lately. Also , I usually call the cards in maybe 2 times per week, and sometimes the cards are denied and i have to track people down, which i really dont enjoy doing.
does anyone have experience/advice as to what kind of card machine to use? i would really like some sort of wireless one so i could send it on deliveries and know at the transaction if the card is good or not. what am i looking at paying? what kind of percent would i be getting per transaction. right now its something rediculous like 5 percent.
thanks!!
