Choosing a card machine

Which card machine is best for a restaurant?

DOJO Go Max takes payments at the table, with Wi-Fi, 4G and a built-in receipt printer. DOJO Wired stays at a fixed checkout. If staff need to take orders as well as payments, DOJO Pocket offers that workflow through selected EPOS integrations.

A restaurant can combine fixed and portable machines. Count the payment points used at the same time, then check which devices and functions your EPOS supplier supports.

A scene from your working day

Bring payment to the table.

Keep the bill with the guests, take payment where they are seated and provide a receipt before they leave.

TABLE SERVICE

Check the bill

Prepare the correct table bill. With a supported EPOS connection, the till can send the amount to the card machine.

Illustration only. Confirm the device, connection and software requirements for your business.

A question worth checking

Will DOJO work with my restaurant’s EPOS?

A supported payment connection sends the amount from the till to the card machine, so staff do not have to enter it twice.

Give your EPOS supplier the software name and version, and ask which DOJO devices it supports. Table management, menus and kitchen tickets remain features of the EPOS. If you want Pocket for taking orders, check that wider workflow as well as the payment connection.

Changing provider

Can I switch while the restaurant is open?

Plan the change around service and staff training, with both providers clear about when responsibility transfers.

Check your notice period, exit charges and device-return requirements. Agree when the new service starts, then test a sale, a refund, receipts and end-of-day reports before relying on it during service.

Before you decide

Your questions about payments

Discuss your setup ↗
Can guests pay at the table?

A portable machine may suit table service. Check signal, agree how the amount is prepared and ask how payment is recorded in EPOS.

Can a card machine split a bill?

DOJO lists bill-splitting among Go Max features. Confirm workflow and how split payments appear in EPOS reports.

Can guests add a tip?

DOJO lists tipping as a Go Max feature. Ask how it is configured and how tips are recorded.

Does EPOS integration include table management?

A supported connection can pass an amount. Other functions depend on your EPOS software and configuration.

Will a portable terminal work on a terrace?

Go Max supports Wi-Fi and 4G. Check the connection on your terrace and agree what staff should do if neither network is available.

Fixed or portable terminal?

A fixed terminal suits a permanent checkout; portable devices can be carried to guests. Map service and confirm support.

What belongs in a quote comparison?

Compare processing, authorisation, device, service, integration, refunds, support and contract charges against the same card mix.

What do I need before switching?

Check notice and exit terms, gather a statement, confirm EPOS support and agree installation and testing before ending service.
