Payment processing consulting — restaurants & food businesses
The delivery apps are eating your margins.

01 The middleman math
Every order you sell, someone else takes a cut.
Delivery apps typically charge 15–30% commission on every order they touch. That fee comes straight out of your margin — on food you cooked, packed, and handed over.
Illustrative example
Orders through delivery apps$40,000/mo
× typical commission25%
Paid to the middleman$10,000/mo
Example only — your numbers will differ. The point is the structure: the more you sell, the more they take.
When ordering lives on your own website, that commission drops to zero.
You keep the fee. You keep the customer relationship. You keep the order data — so repeat business costs you nothing extra. That’s the whole play.

Better POS software
Modern point-of-sale software that fits your operation: online ordering, in-house sales, reporting that actually tells you something. We help you switch without the headache.

04 Questions, answered
Straight answers.
What does Talon do?
Talon is a payment processing consultancy for businesses of all kinds, with a specialty in restaurants and bagel shops. We help merchants take online orders on their own websites instead of through delivery apps, source free or low-cost equipment, upgrade POS software, and review processing costs to remove junk fees.
How much do delivery apps typically charge restaurants?
Delivery apps typically charge 15–30% commission per order, depending on the plan and the app. On thin restaurant margins, that fee can erase the profit on an order entirely. It applies to food you prepared and packaged — the app takes its cut before you see a dollar.
How does online ordering on my own website work?
Customers visit your site and order directly from you instead of through an app. You pay no per-order commission on those sales, and you keep the customer contact details for repeat business. We help you set it up and make sure it works with your kitchen flow and your POS.
Can I keep my DoorDash or Uber Eats listings too?
Yes. Many restaurants keep delivery-app listings for discovery while steering repeat customers to order direct. The goal isn’t to disappear from the apps — it’s to stop paying commission on customers who would have ordered from you anyway.
What does free or low-cost equipment mean?
It means card terminals, readers, and related hardware at little or no upfront cost to you, typically arranged through processing programs we work with. We match the equipment to your operation — counter, drive-thru, or delivery — so you’re not overbuying hardware you don’t need.
Do you work with businesses outside Utah?
Yes. We’re based in the Salt Lake Valley with a consultant in New Jersey, and we serve accounts across the entire country. The free consulting session works the same whether you’re local or across the country.
What happens on the free consulting session?
We review how you currently take orders and payments — your delivery-app setup, your processing statements, your equipment and POS. Then we lay out exactly where money is leaking and what we’d change. You decide what to do next; there’s no obligation to move forward.
Which businesses do you work with?
We consult on payment processing for all industries, and we specialize in restaurants and bagel shops. If you take card payments or online orders — food or otherwise — the session is worth your time. Additional services are available; ask about them on the call.
