Payment Options
As much as we try, we can't always control what happens day to day. If your commercial equipment goes out unexpectedly, the urgency to replace can directly hurt your bottom line. If you're in the process of opening your first location and drowning in start-up costs, or operating within someone else's tight budget constraints, making high-involvement purchase decisions can cause unwanted stress and anxiety. Central is here to help by offering a variety of flexible payment options so you can spend more time focused on serving your valued patrons and less on worrying about what tomorrow might bring.
Onsite Payment Options
Debit or Credit Card
Acceptable credit cards include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Credit Key
Credit Key – Buy now, pay over time. CreditKey allows business owners to split your purchase into easy monthly payments for orders over $100.00. Shop as you usually would and when you get to checkout, you will be redirected to Credit Key to securely complete your purchase. It’s quick and easy! New CreditKey users will be asked to fill out a few pieces of basic information and get a real-time decision. Checking your eligibility won’t affect your credit score.
PayPal & PayPal Pay Later
For our online customers, we also accept payments through PayPal as well as payments through PayPal Pay Later for qualified online shoppers. These options are for online customers only and can be selected at checkout.
Amazon Pay
With Amazon Pay, you can speed through checkout using the information already stored in your Amazon account. There’s no need to re-enter your payment or address details. Amazon Pay gives you a fast, easy, and secure way to pay for products and services on our site.
Additional Payment Options
All of these services are coordinated via phone or email. For more information, please contact us.
Free No Obligation Net 15 Terms
Net terms are ideal for established businesses, allowing customers up to 15 days after the invoice is issued to pay in full. The product will invoice the day it ships, not the day you place the order. To apply, fill out the credit application and submit by phone, 800-222-5107, or email at credit@centralrestaurant.com. Central will run a check on the business's credit, not your personal credit. Many distributors charge for net 15 terms, but it's free with Central upon credit approval.
Tax Exempt
Schools, government entities, churches, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits are potentially eligible for tax exempt status by applying directly through the IRS. Once approved, please email your Sales Tax Exempt form to credit@centralrestaurant.com to create a Sales tax exempt account.
Leasing
Leasing provides even more flexibility, allowing you to pay in full between one to five years, with inexpensive buyout options negotiated at the time of lease. Whereas the 12-month financing option is applicable for established businesses only, anyone can lease, pending credit approval. An application is necessary, but the report will pull from personal credit history, not business credit like the above net terms or financing options. An interest rate negotiated at the time of lease will also be applied to monthly payments.
Checks
To place an order using a check, please contact us to place your order and receive check submitting details. Items in your order will be held while the check is approved, typically within 1 to 7 business days. Once check is approved, your order will ship.
