Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns talech?
talech is owned by Elavon, which is part of US Bank. This means strong financial backing but also means you may be steered toward Elavon payment processing.
Can I use talech with any processor?
talech works with Elavon and select other processors. You're not completely locked in, but Elavon integration is the smoothest. Check processor compatibility before committing.
How does talech compare to Square?
talech has a free tier like Square but with fewer features. Square's free plan is more robust. talech may make sense if you prefer Elavon processing or want their specific feature mix.
Is talech good for restaurants?
talech works for simple restaurant operations but isn't as robust as Toast or TouchBistro. It's better suited for counter service, cafes, and small restaurants than full-service dining.
