Zero cost processing, also called the Advantage Program, passes the card processing fee to the customer at checkout instead of your restaurant. You pay 0% in processing fees and keep 100% of every sale. 8blok sets it up the right way.
8blok sets up the Advantage Program on your Shift4 Dine system, compliant and clearly disclosed.
Card customers see a small fee; cash customers pay the listed price. It is transparent and standard.
Your processing cost on card sales goes to zero. You keep what you used to hand the processor.
But you're not calling a 1-800 number. 8blok is your local certified Shift4 Dine partner. We show up in person, program your whole menu, install the system, train your staff, and six months later we still pick up the phone. The same Shift4 product, with a local face.
