Bushwick Bars and Restaurants Pay Nothing in Processing Fees. Yours Doesn't Have To Either.
Bushwick's arts district, restaurant boom, and retail corridors on Knickerbocker and Myrtle have driven card volume through the roof — and so have processing fees. At 2.5–3.5% per transaction, a busy Bushwick bar or restaurant is handing thousands of dollars a month to processors it doesn't have to. Scaler Pay installs a fully compliant cash discount program for your Bushwick business — the terminal, the signage, everything — so you keep all of it. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
A Bushwick bar or restaurant processing $70,000/month in card transactions saves $1,750–$2,450/month — $21,000–$29,400/year — on a cash discount program versus standard interchange-plus. In a neighborhood where landlords and vendors absorb margin from every side, that's a line item you can actually control.

- 01A Bushwick bar doing $60k/month in card volume pays $1,500–$2,100/month in processing fees. That's $18,000–$25,200 per year for the privilege of accepting Visa.
- 02Knickerbocker and Myrtle Avenue restaurants average high per-table card spend. Processing fees at those ticket sizes compound quickly.

- 05Every Bushwick competitor running a cash discount program is operating with a cost structure advantage — the fee you're paying is funding their margin, not yours.
