Frequently Asked Questions
What does BridgeWave do?
BridgeWave is the independent restaurant technology partner. We manage POS and payments end to end, from best-fit selection and purchase at the right price through site readiness, implementation, go-live, ongoing support, and provider escalation.
How does BridgeWave make money?
BridgeWave is compensated through long-term relationships with payment processing and technology partners. That compensation supports our no-separate-consulting-fee service and continued involvement after go-live.
How is BridgeWave different from a typical POS sales rep?
BridgeWave is independent: we work across a deliberately small set of best-in-class systems and recommend the one that genuinely fits how your business runs. Because our model is built on long-term partnerships, we stay with you for ongoing support long after the sale.
How long does a free consultation take?
Most initial consultations take 20-30 minutes. We learn about your restaurant, determine which trusted systems best fit your operation, and walk you through expected costs and timelines.
