Business banking for restaurants and cafés
Restaurants and cafes handle cash, so a branch for deposits matters as much as card payments. Chase Business Complete Banking has branches for cash and card acceptance included, from $15/mo. The fee applies unless waived and teller transactions and cash deposits are capped; Bank of America Business Advantage waives its fee for the first year.
