EFTPOS

The EFTPOS facility refers to a restaurant that accepts EFTPOS as a form of payment. EFTPOS differs from a credit card because it draws money directly from a diners savings account rather than charging the meal to a credit company.

Some restaurants do not accept EFTPOS as a form of payment, so if you intend to use this facility you need to ensure the restaurant is able to meet your request.

EFTPOS stands for: Electronic Funds Transfer Point Of Sale
