Long Branch's Pier Village and Shore Restaurants Are Paying Too Much to Card Networks.
Long Branch combines a vibrant Pier Village dining and retail destination with a year-round residential base and significant seasonal visitor volume. From waterfront restaurants processing $15,000 on a summer Saturday to year-round boutiques handling consistent card volume, every transaction sends a percentage of revenue to Visa and Mastercard. Scaler Pay installs a fully compliant cash discount program that eliminates processing fees entirely. Most Long Branch businesses save $900–$2,800/month. Payment processing services provided through licensed processing partners.
A Long Branch restaurant processing $60,000/month in card transactions saves approximately $1,500–$2,100/month on a cash discount program — $18,000–$25,200/year in margin recovered from card networks.
