How the Cash Discount Program Works
Rather than absorbing payment processing fees that cut into your margins—a particular burden for Grand Forks’ bustling restaurant and bar scene around campus and downtown corridors—our system automatically applies a modest service fee to all card transactions. When a customer pays with cash, the service fee is waived, giving them an immediate discount while you retain the full transaction value—no more out-of-pocket losses to card processors.

Benefits to Your Business
Eliminate Up to 100% of Processing Fees
Grand Forks’ unique economy—driven by the University of North Dakota, Altru Health System, and Air Force personnel—generates substantial cash transaction demand that standard credit card processing can’t fully capture. Drastically reduce or eliminate your processing costs altogether by positioning cash as a preferred payment method.Increase Profit Margins
Restaurants, bars, and retail venues across Downtown Grand Forks, the Columbia Mall area, and the 32nd Avenue South business district operate on competitive margins where every percentage point matters. Keep more of each sale without raising prices—a critical advantage when competing for the significant foot traffic from college students and transient military populations.Encourage Cash Payments
The Gateway Drive commercial corridor and University Avenue district see concentrated cash-based activity, especially during the winter months when indoor shopping and entertainment venues drive higher transaction volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is the cash discount program legal?
A: Yes. Cash discount programs are 100% legal in all 50 states and fully compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and federal guidelines when implemented correctly. In Grand Forks, where military personnel from the Air Force Base, university students, and healthcare workers at Altru Health System frequent local establishments, this compliance is essential for maintaining consumer trust across the Downtown and Gateway Drive commercial corridors..Q: Will I need to raise prices?
A: No need to raise prices across the board. The terminal automatically adds a small service fee to card purchases and removes it when customers pay with cash. For restaurants and bars near the University of North Dakota campus or along DeMers Avenue, this approach preserves your posted menu prices while encouraging cash transactions that reduce payment processing costs.Q: How are customers informed?
A: We provide clear signage and receipt disclosures so customers understand the small service fee and their option to avoid it by paying with cash. Grand Forks’ diverse customer base—from college students to Air Force personnel to mall shoppers in the Columbia Mall area—responds well to transparent, straightforward information about payment incentives.Q: Does this affect my accounting or taxes?
A: No. The full sale amount is recorded as usual. The service fee is itemized on receipts but does not alter how your revenue is booked. Retailers and food manufacturers operating in Grand Forks’ 32nd Avenue South business district or South Washington corridor maintain identical accounting practices whether cash or card is tendered.Q: What kind of businesses benefit most?
A: Retailers, salons, restaurants, convenience stores, and any business with frequent card usage benefit greatly—especially those with thin margins. In Grand Forks, entertainment venues near campus, hospitality businesses serving the seasonal influx of visitors, and retailers in high-traffic indoor corridors during harsh winter months see immediate improvement in cash flow when card processing fees are reduced.
