The link between payment and acquisition is simple. Guests finish their meal, pay from their phone and can share their experience while it is still fresh. Their feedback then becomes visible to people deciding where to eat next.
How sunday supports the review journey
With sunday Digital Bill, guests scan a QR code to open the live bill, review the items, split the payment, tip and pay from their phone. After payment, they can rate their experience.
By making it easy for all users to leave a Google review, the vast silent majority who had a great experience can finally make their voices heard.
From new guest discovery to future visits
