SIDES Capital

Financing for your restaurant when you need it

Invest exactly when your restaurant is ready to grow. With SIDES Capital, you get customized financing for your restaurant business directly within your SIDES POS system—no loan application required and with repayments that scale with your revenue.

Note: Only available in Germany

Good ideas often fail because of bad timing.

A new location. A second pizza oven. A renovation before the summer season. Often, it’s not the idea that’s missing, but the capital.

Traditional bank loans take weeks, require personal collateral, and involve fixed monthly payments—regardless of how your business is performing.

SIDES Capital is different.

Repayment happens automatically via a percentage of your SIDES Pay sales. More sales mean faster repayment. Fewer sales automatically mean lower repayment rates. This keeps your cash flow healthy—even during quieter times.

Powered by Stripe Capital.
Financing is provided by Stripe Capital and is already used by millions of businesses worldwide.
