Free rate analysis

See your exact savings — before you commit to anything

Most POS vendors quote a bundled processing rate and hope you don't read the statements. Send us yours — we'll show you the line-item difference Katalyst Payments would make on the same volume. No demo required first.

24-hour response · No commitment · Confidential. We work off your real merchant data, not a sales-pitch estimate.

  • How it works
  • Your last 3 months of merchant statements

    Or just your effective rate and monthly volume — we'll work with what you have.

  • We map the same volume onto Katalyst Payments

    Interchange-plus pricing, no bundled markup, no surprise tier shifts.

  • You see the exact monthly + annual difference

    Average client saves $55K+/year. We show you the math before you commit to anything.

Built by restaurateurs

We use Katalyst in our own restaurants every day.

Katalyst was built in 2015 by restaurateurs Dan Roland, Cole Dillon, and Scott Bleczinski — operators of a Massachusetts restaurant portfolio worth $15M+. Every feature exists because we needed it in our own dining rooms first.
