Why Ceres businesses call us

Local enough to show up. Big enough to price it right.

Ceres sits right below Modesto on Highway 99, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to show up in person. Restaurants and markets along Hatch Road and Whitmore Avenue, auto shops near the freeway, and the small retail strips in between are the kind of businesses we install for every week.

You get the same deal as our Modesto customers: on-site install and training, a free line-by-line rate review, free equipment on qualifying plans, and a local number that reaches a person.

Serving Ceres and the Highway 99 and Hatch Road corridor.

Questions from Ceres business owners

Ceres is a short drive from our Modesto office. Call the main line and we will either fix it remotely on the spot or send someone out. Most Ceres accounts also keep a backup way to take cards, which we set up during install.

8.375% combined, per the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration's 2026 rate table for Ceres (Stanislaus County). We set the rate during install and check your exact address, since locations outside city limits can have a different rate. When CDTFA changes it, call us and we'll update it with you.

Card processing (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, contactless and mobile wallets), the POS or terminal to run it on, installation and training, and ongoing support. Websites with online ordering, digital menu boards, and business funding are available too.

Three ways: interchange-plus (you pay the true cost plus a small markup), cash discount (customers who pay by card pay a bit more, you pay 0%), or a hybrid. We show you all three against your own numbers before you choose.

Month to month, with no early termination fee. Free equipment offers have their own terms, listed on each system page.
