Modern payment technology, stress-free onboarding, and ongoing personal support from a local Garvanza partner who stays with you after setup.
VCCP.biz — Merchant Services with Aloha Soul
Rooted in Garvanza, Highland Park, and Northeast Los Angeles
Garvanza is a historic neighborhood in Northeast Los Angeles, closely connected to, and often considered part of the greater Highland Park community. It isn’t simply another community VCCP serves; it is where I live and where many of my personal and professional relationships have been built.
You’ll often find me walking through the neighborhood, grabbing a bite to eat, meeting my wife Hannah for coffee, or visiting local businesses, usually in one of my Hawaiian shirts.
My connection to Highland Park goes back much further. My father has lived in Highland Park for nearly 40 years, and I grew up visiting Galco’s Old World Grocery when it was still a neighborhood market. When I thought about getting a great local sandwich, Galco’s original Blockbuster was always one of the first options that came to mind.
Long before VCCP.biz, I was already working with businesses and property owners throughout Garvanza and Highland Park through my architecture and design work.
My first house relocation project in the neighborhood was on Avenue 64 in 2003. Several of my projects are still easy to spot today, including historic homes along Avenue 64 across from the Church of the Angels and at the corner of Avenue 63 and Garvanza Avenue.
Those experiences taught me how much care, time, and energy people invest in building something within a community, and how important it is to have vendors and partners they can genuinely count on.
VCCP.biz was built around that same community building concept: understand the business first, recommend the right solution, make setup simple, and stay available after everything is up and running.
Payment Solutions Built Around Your Business
Every business operates differently. A neighborhood restaurant has different needs than a busy bar, coffee shop, retail store, professional office, or service business.
Instead of pushing one system on everyone, we start by learning how your business works. Then we help you compare payment processing and point-of-sale options that make sense for your staff, your customers, and your goals.
Whether you’re opening a new business, replacing an outdated system, comparing your current processing costs, or simply wondering whether there’s a better option, we’ll help make the decision easier.
How We Can Help
Whether you’re opening a new business, replacing an outdated system, comparing your current processing costs, or simply wondering whether there’s a better option, we’ll help make the decision easier. VCCP.biz can help you:
- Compare merchant-processing rates and fees
- Review your current merchant statement
- Select a POS system that fits your operation
- Replace outdated or unreliable equipment
- Simplify onboarding and installation
- Get ongoing support after your system is running
Modern Payment Technology Without the Overwhelm
VCCP.biz works with modern payment and point-of-sale technology for restaurants, bars, retail businesses, professional services, and other local merchants.
Solutions may include Clover, UNION, CardConnect, and other payment technologies depending on what your business actually needs. Our job isn’t to make you become a payment-processing expert. Our job is to understand the technology and help you choose the right fit.
POS Solutions for Garvanza Restaurants, Bars & Hospitality Businesses
Restaurants and bars are among our favorite businesses to work with because the right technology can impact everything from order flow and checkout speed to staff efficiency and the guest experience.
Clover can be a strong solution for many restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, and retail businesses, while UNION is designed specifically around the needs of busy bars and nightlife venues. We’ll help you look at your operation first and the technology second.
And because my background includes designing restaurants and bars through my architecture business, I understand that your POS system is only one part of a much larger operation.
Local Support That Continues After Setup
Getting your account approved and your equipment installed shouldn’t be the end of the relationship.
If a question comes up, something stops working, your business grows, or your payment needs change, you should have someone you can contact. VCCP.biz is built around ongoing relationships, not simply getting an application signed and moving on to the next sale.
We want you to feel understood, valued, and taken care of before, during, and after onboarding.
Merchant Services with Aloha Soul
To us, Aloha goes far beyond a greeting. It represents kindness, compassion, respect, and treating people with genuine care.
That philosophy shapes how we do business. We listen before recommending. We value relationships over commissions. We work to make complicated decisions simpler. And when a problem comes up, we work urgently and persistently to solve it, while always treating you with patience, respect, and care.
Modern technology may power the payments, but people power the relationship.
Local Business Can Create Local Impact
We believe the money generated by local businesses can do more than simply move through a payment network.
VCCP.biz is building an ecosystem that enables merchants to access competitive payment solutions while also supporting nonprofit organizations and the communities they care about.
Our goal is simple: help local businesses thrive while helping local charities do the same. Through our giving program, a portion of VCCP.biz profits supports charitable organizations, including causes selected by you and our other local merchant partners.
Let’s Find the Right Fit for Your Business
You don’t need to know which processor, POS system, terminal, or payment technology you need before contacting us. That’s what we’re here to help you figure out.
Tell us a little about your business and what you’re trying to accomplish. We’ll help you understand your options, answer your questions, and see whether VCCP.biz and our merchant solutions are the right fit.
A Message from Alan

Hi, I’m Alan.
I founded VCCP.biz because I believe merchant services should feel different.
Too many business owners are treated like account numbers. My goal is to build relationships first, recommend the right solution for each business, and continue supporting our clients long after everything is installed.
My wife, Hannah, and I believe in living with the Aloha Spirit, treating people with kindness, respect, and genuine care. That philosophy shapes every client relationship and every recommendation we make.
We’re building more than a merchant services company; we’re building a community of local businesses that support one another while giving back to the neighborhoods they serve.
I’d love to learn about your business, answer your questions, and help you decide whether VCCP.biz is the right fit.
Mahalo,
Alan Pinel
