Hospitality businesses across Munster: we’ll tell you if you’re overpaying.
CaterPay is the Munster partner of LowerFees.ie. We compare what your pub, restaurant, café or hotel pays now against a panel of providers and look at the features you need too. If the saving makes sense, we handle the switch, with installation, training and support from our Cork team.
How it works
We do the legwork. You get better rates, usually within a week.
Tell us about your venue
Fill in the quick quote form, two minutes. We need your monthly volume and current provider, and how guests pay: at the table, at the bar, by phone or online.
We compare providers
Your figures go against a panel of providers. You get a side-by-side savings breakdown of what you pay now and what you could pay.
We switch you over
If the savings make sense, we handle the application. You are typically live and saving within days, with installation, training and ongoing support from our Cork team.
How we can help
Take payments at the counter, at the table or online. The right setup comes from a panel of providers, not from whatever one supplier happens to sell.
Card machines
Portable, countertop and mobile terminals matched to your venue and volume. From €0 upfront, with Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity and built-in loyalty and marketing tools.
Hospitality EPOS
An integrated POS for bars and restaurants, including SkyTab from Shift4, with card payments and automated reporting built in.
Tipping solutions
Let guests add a tip on the card machine so more of it reaches your team.
QR code ordering
Guests order and pay from the table on their own phone.
Online ordering
Take collection and delivery orders through your own channel.
Phone and email payments
Take deposits and bookings by payment link or virtual terminal, plus mobile payments for staff on the move.
We work with your venue
A busy bar, a restaurant and a hotel taking deposits by phone need different payment setups. Hospitality is all we do.
Pubs and bars
Fast counter payments, tipping and a setup that copes with a full house.
Restaurants and cafés
Table payments, EPOS and QR ordering, with tips handled on the machine.
Hotels, B&Bs and event spaces
Deposits and bookings by phone or link, event payments, plus the bar and restaurant on site.
Takeaways and food trucks
Portable terminals for counters, queues, markets and events.
Why not go to the provider directly?
Same providers, same hardware, same rails. With someone in your corner.
Expertise across the market
We work across myPOS, Shift4 and Revolut through LowerFees.ie, and we will tell you if none of them fits your venue. The recommendation follows your business, not one supplier's catalogue.
Extra support, at no extra cost
There is generally no consultation fee. In most cases the providers pay us, so you get an extra layer of support without paying more.

John started in payments in 2020. He saw how confusing the market is for Irish business owners, with inconsistent pricing, opaque contracts and many businesses on the wrong plan or provider. He founded LowerFees.ie to give owners a trusted advocate and a fair rate.
