Payment Processor Agnostic Restaurant POS

Winston is a payment processor agnostic POS for restaurants. This means that as a dealer or restaurant, you can always keep working with your preferred payment processor. At the same time, we offer the option for processors to become a payment partner of Winston Restaurant POS, but even if they’re not a partner, that doesn’t hold you back.

Partnered Processors

Winston offers a partnership program for payment processors. The program comes with several benefits: you receive a strong percentage of the residuals, we provide rate protection, and more.

Bring your own processor

You can also bring your own payment processor. In that case, you pay a gateway fee based on credit card revenue. By offering this option, we remain processor agnostic at all times.

Why are we processor agnostic?

Flexibility for restaurants and dealers

Every business is different. By staying processor agnostic, we give restaurants and dealers the freedom to choose the payment partner that best fits their needs. Whether that’s better rates, faster funding, or support for niche payment methods.

Dealer-friendly approach 

Our model puts dealers in control, not locked into one processor. This makes it easier for dealers to win more deals, build stronger relationships, and deliver the right solution for each customer without compromise.

Future-proofing your business 

Payment trends change fast. Being processor agnostic means restaurants and dealers aren’t tied to yesterday’s setup. They can adapt quickly to new technologies, local regulations, and customer expectations without switching POS systems.
