    [02]_The fee drain

    West Haven businesses are losing $7,200–$25,000/year to card processors they don't need to pay.

    • 01A West Haven beach-area restaurant processing $60k/month in summer card volume pays $1,500–$2,100/month in fees — $18,000–$25,200 every year lost to card networks.
    • 02University of New Haven-area food, retail, and service businesses process steady year-round student volume at thin margins. Processing fees are a constant drain against limited pricing power.
    • 03Campbell Avenue convenience stores, delis, and specialty food shops process high transaction counts. Card fees on small-ticket items compound into significant annual losses.
    • 04Seasonal Savin Rock businesses face peak summer card volume when every margin dollar matters — and processors collect their percentage regardless of how hard the season was.
    • 05Eliminating processing fees is one of the fastest margin improvements available to West Haven business owners — and the cash discount program complies fully with Connecticut state law.
