Why restaurants end up with MCA pressure
- Card sales make restaurants easy targets for split-funding and daily withdrawals
- Thin margins leave little room when food or labor costs rise
- Seasonal slowdowns and weather affect daily covers
- Equipment repairs and renovations often get funded with quick advances
What we review for restaurants
- Whether withdrawals come from a processor split or direct ACH
- Daily withdrawals compared with card and cash deposits, week by week
- Seasonal patterns that support a reconciliation or modification request
- Equipment financing and landlord obligations alongside the MCAs
Our goal is a payment structure your restaurant can carry through slow seasons, documented in writing before you accept.
Questions
Can payments be adjusted for my slow season?
Many MCA agreements tie payments to a percentage of receivables. Documented seasonal declines can support a reconciliation or modification request, though funders decide whether to agree.
