How Caravan cut table turn time by 8.5 minutes with sunday
For Caravan, improving service speed meant fixing a key friction point in the guest journey: payment.
Before sunday, the process was manual and slow, often disrupting the end of the experience. By introducing sunday, Caravan streamlined this moment, reducing table turn time by 8.5 minutes on average.
Split payments as a structural unlock for large tables
One of the most immediate shifts came from how Caravan handles group dining. Split payments, which used to be one of the most time-consuming parts of service, are now entirely guest-led.
Guests can select exactly what they had, pay individually, and leave whenever they need to. This is particularly valuable in contexts like business meetings or large groups where people leave at different times. What used to require coordination, staff time, and back-and-forth is now instant.
This change doesn’t just save time. It removes a layer of operational complexity that used to slow down service at scale, especially during peak hours.
Reallocating staff time to actual hospitality
By removing the transactional burden of payments, Caravan has been able to shift how teams spend their time on the floor.
Instead of managing bills, printing receipts, or troubleshooting payments, staff can stay present with guests. That means more time for recommendations, more attention to detail, and a service that feels more fluid and intentional.
This is a subtle but critical shift. The goal is not just to move faster, but to improve what happens during that time. Payment becomes invisible, and hospitality becomes more visible.
From payment tool to performance driver
The impact of sunday at Caravan doesn’t stop at operations. It also creates a continuous feedback loop that teams can act on in real time.
Today, 65% of Google reviews are generated through sunday, giving Caravan a steady and scalable flow of guest feedback. More importantly, managers can access this feedback instantly, which allows them to identify issues during service, not after.
This transforms feedback from a retrospective metric into an operational tool. Instead of reacting to reviews days later, teams can adjust on the spot, improving both guest satisfaction and long-term performance.
