If a restaurant claims that they need extra money for credit card purchases, I think they are lying. It has long been proven that credit card customers spend substantially more money than cash customers. When McDonald's started accepting credit cards, their average purchase amount increased by almost 50 percent. If restaurants stopped accepting credit cards, many of them would go out of business.
