Payment Processing for Business in New Zealand and Australia
Accept payments quickly and securely across your restaurant, café, takeaway, bar, food truck, or other hospitality business — all while keeping your payments, orders, and sales connected.
Every way your customers like to pay, in one system.
Food&Me gives you simple credit card processing for small business — cards, taps, wallets, and QR codes all work at the counter, so no one walks away because you couldn't take their payment.
Credit & debit cards
Accept major card networks at the counter, table, or kiosk in seconds.
Contactless tap
One tap, done. Built for the lunchtime rush when every second in line counts.
Mobile wallets
Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your customers expect them to.
QR code checkout
Customers scan, pay, and go — straight from their own phone.
Online orders

Frequently Asked Questions
What is restaurant payment processing?
Restaurant payment processing is the system that allows your business to accept electronic payments such as debit cards, credit cards, contactless payments, digital wallets, and online transactions. Payment information is securely communicated between the payment gateway, processor, card network, and relevant financial institutions before a transaction is approved or declined.
Read more…Can payments integrate with my POS system?
Yes. Payment processing can be connected directly to your POS, so transactions, order details, and receipts stay in sync without any manual re-entry. This also means sales data and reporting reflect payments automatically as they happen.
Read more…Can customers make contactless payments?
Yes. Customers can tap to pay using contactless cards or mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, making checkout faster and reducing the need to handle cash or insert a card.
Read more…Can customers pay through QR code ordering?
Yes. When a customer orders through a QR code menu, payment can be completed on the same device, letting them order and pay without waiting for staff to bring the bill.
Read more…Can Food&Me handle online payments?
Yes. Food&Me can process online orders and payments, so transactions placed through your website, app, or online ordering page are handled securely alongside your in-restaurant sales.
