Restaurants & hospitality

Settle tonight's covers without waiting for a card batch.

Restaurants and hospitality operators run on daily cash and thin margins, yet card settlement lands in a later batch and staff are paid out of the float in between. Payment to a wallet you control, final after the required network confirmations, puts the day's takings in your hands on the day.

Why this category gets penalised

The problem is the gap between paying and delivering.

Yesterday's takings arrive tomorrow

Card settlement runs on the card company's batch cycle, so the cash for tonight's service turns up after the produce order it was meant to pay for. On a thin margin that float is expensive.

The day's payments land in a wallet you control as they confirm, final after the required network confirmations.

No-shows and disputed event deposits

Deposits for large bookings and private events are taken weeks ahead, which puts them in the card company's dispute window and makes them a reserve candidate in a category already watched for no-show disputes.

No card-network chargebacks on wallet payments, and settlement treated as final after the required network confirmations, so a deposit you have taken is a deposit you have. For card payments, your payment provider handles card disputes with the cardholder's bank.

Paying shift staff out the same night

Rotating shift rosters mean many small payouts, each with its own bank cut-off, funded from money that has not settled yet.

Settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations, so staff can be paid out of money that has already landed — a USDC transfer from your own wallet, with no bank cut-off to plan around.

How it works

One payment, settled to a wallet you control.

How a payment settles through ZoynA customer pays a payment link. The payment reaches a settlement contract, which divides it in fixed proportions set when it was deployed and pays the merchant’s own wallet and the platform fee directly. Zoyn sits outside the flow of funds.CustomerHostedcheckoutSplitcontractYour walletPlatform feeZoyn (config)Funds never pass through Zoyn
1

Create the booking or bill link

Set the fixed amount for the deposit, the event bill or the table, and add your booking reference.

2

Guest pays their way

Card or crypto on a hosted checkout. Card availability depends on the buyer's location, currency, and available checkout providers. Card-funded payments are handled by the checkout provider — card data never reaches your floor.

3

Your share is fixed up front

The shares are fixed when your payments are set up: your share and the platform fee. Every payment follows them exactly, and each one can be checked on a public record.

4

USDC lands in your wallet

Final after the required network confirmations, into a wallet you control, so suppliers and staff can be paid from money that has already landed.

Coverage

Your type of business

Businesses in this group can apply. You pick your exact type of business when you apply, and every application is reviewed.

Jurisdictions we cannot serve

We cannot onboard merchants operating from comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. We do not hold ourselves out as licensed anywhere.

Wallet addresses you'll be paid to are checked against sanctions lists when you enter them, and re-checked every day after that.

Common questions

What restaurants & hospitality merchants ask first.

Is this for the till, or for bookings and events?

Bookings, event bills and deposits are the strongest fit today, because each one is a fixed-amount link you create and send. It sits alongside whatever you use at the counter rather than replacing your point-of-sale hardware.

A party cancelled. Can they claw the deposit back through their bank?

Not on a wallet payment. Zoyn does not reverse a settled payment, so your cancellation terms decide what the party gets back and when — and you send that refund yourself, from your own wallet, with no card-scheme dispute fee attached. For card payments, your payment provider handles card disputes with the cardholder's bank.

How does paying staff work?

Outside Zoyn — you pay staff yourself, from your own wallet, on your own schedule. Zoyn is a payment-link platform and is not in that flow; what it changes is that the night's takings are settled and available before the pay run, instead of sitting in a card company's batch.

Company

Legal

Legal & regulatory disclosures

Zoyn is software. It is not a bank, a payment processor, a payment gateway, a money transmitter or a money services business. Zoyn is never the seller in a sale (the "merchant of record"). Zoyn never holds a shop's money, and does not decide how long a payment company may hold it. When a customer pays by card or bank, the payment company handles that payment under its own terms and may hold it for a short time. The money then goes to the shop's own payment contract once the payment network has confirmed it.

Businesses can be based in 64 jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. Customers can pay from 130+ countries through the checkout providers we connect to; which countries customers can pay from is set by those providers, not by Zoyn, and may change without notice. Not available in sanctioned jurisdictions: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
