Quick-service restaurants
Empower your QSR to reach new heights with Katalyst — designed for the realities of counter and drive-through service where every second matters and tickets move continuously through the kitchen.
Built for the QSR rush
Fast-paced QSR concepts live and die by throughput. Katalyst is tuned for counter and drive-through workflows that move tickets to the kitchen in under a second and process payment in one tap.
Order processing at speed
One-tap modifier shortcuts, a layout tuned for high turn rate, and instant ticket routing keep the line moving even at peak.
Mobile order ahead
Branded customer app with smart pickup pacing — orders flow to the kitchen at the right time, not all at once.
Real-time menu control
Update prices, 86 items, and toggle dayparts across every location in real time. Changes hit every register in seconds.
Loyalty that drives repeat visits
Native points, rewards, and personalised offers — the average QSR regular visits 4× more often than a one-time guest.
Throughput analytics
Orders per hour, average ticket time, drive-through wait, peak-period staffing — every number you need to optimise the line.
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.
