downtime incidents
We know the pain. Slow terminals that freeze during Friday evening rush. Hidden fees that eat into slim margins. Support that keeps you on hold while your queue grows out the door.
Payment Doctor was founded by people who have worked in hospitality. We understand that every second counts, every penny matters, and every failed payment could be a lost customer.
Terminal crashes during peak hours costing you valuable turnover, and even losing those customers who just don't come back. There is no one to help!

Get an initial free consultation. During that phone or Zoom call, we will decide if we can work together. We are not everyone's "cup of tea", we do ask lots of questions! If anything does not sound right, or you feel we are not a good "fit" for you, we want you to feel free to say No to us. We sometimes have to say No to potential merchants too, we can't help everyone of course. If we do have a positive first consultation, and we have mutually decided to move to the next step and work together. Stage two is we will need more in depth information prior to prescribing a "treatment plan" to alleviate the aches, pains and frustrations that have been irritating you for so long. We will a "side by side comparison" so that you can then imagine how much better you will feel "post-surgery"! Switching is easier than you think — and we may be able to handle everything for you. Normally, the experience is a very pleasant one! If all goes well, we look forward to welcoming you as one of our long term “pain-free” patients very soon.
