How it works in Bakersfield
Hardware ships to Bakersfield pre-programmed with your menu or inventory loaded. Setup and staff training are a phone or video call, usually under an hour. For multi-device installs we schedule an on-site visit. Support afterward is a cell number. Agreements are month to month, hardware is placed or purchased and never leased, and the fee schedule is on one page before you sign.
Dual pricing in Bakersfield
Both a cash price and a card price are shown before the customer chooses, on the customer-facing screen and on signage, and the receipt shows the price paid. Debit and credit are treated the same. The business nets its cash price on every sale and pays $0 in processing. It is the model that fits California's rules, where surcharging is restricted; the detail is on is dual pricing legal in California. Businesses that prefer one posted price get interchange-plus instead.
