🚨Order and pay at the same time?!
- March 2022
- Last Update 16 July 2026
It’s peak service, beautiful weather and your restaurant is packed. Chances are, you’ll be feeling the pressure… Guests want to order, others want to pay, a group of 5 wants a table and is desperately trying to get someone’s attention, the line is growing… where do you even start?
To top it all off, you’re understaffed and could really do with some extra help. Patience is wearing thin and diners are getting ‘hangry’, putting the guest experience at risk.
To tackle these challenges, we launched Order & Pay. Scan, order, pay and leave a tip – it’s never been easier!
NB: To our existing partners, you can of course choose to stick to Pay at Table. The Order & Pay functionality will first be offered to quick service restaurants, bars and food courts. This is not an add-on feature, but rather a product in itself that works separately from our Pay at Table solution
Order & Pay with sunday
No one like to wait to order or to pay. At a bar or restaurant, this can drag out, with diners losing patience and your team trying to manage all these different requests. Sometimes this is enough to leave guests annoyed and frustrated.
All we want, is to never leave people waiting that minute too long for a beer, nachos and a side of sausage rolls (don’t judge). With sunday, the wait is over.
Scanning the QR code is all it takes to view a digital menu, pick what to order and pay in a couple of clicks. Best of all, you don’t have to ask diners to download an app, eating away at precious mobile storage space!
After that, it’s down to your kitchen team to dish up amazing food, until plates are ready to be brought to the table or collected at the counter. Easy as 1,2,3. Your team and guests will love the simplicity!
It’s no surprise that so many of our restaurants have asked to put this in place. TopBun, an ultra trendy burger joint in Marseille, France, was our first partner to go live with Order & Pay. According to Agathe Hevin, General Manager, all it takes is one payment through sunday to be hooked.
We thought of everything
Looks great on paper, but how does this ‘thing’ actually work? 🤔 Thanks to our partnership with Deliverect, sunday integrates seamlessly with your till system.
Orders show up automatically in real time on your sunday dashboard, and you’ll see exactly what people have ordered. And as everything is prepaid, you’ll never have to worry about walkouts again.
To top it off, Order & Pay is adapted to your service flow:
- Table service
Your guests settle into their table, take out their smartphone, scan, order and pay without leaving their seats. When everything is ready, those two juicy burgers, side of fries, crispy onion rings and a coke zero will be brought directly to them.
- Counter service
Prefer to have them pick up their order at the counter? Not a problem. Guests will receive a text when their order is ready for collection.
- To go
Do more with less thanks to Scan & Go. Got a full house and no free tables? Give people the option to order to take away. All they need to do is scan the QR code when they arrive, place their order, pay and wait for their collection to be ready. Those same burgers and the side of fries are perfectly packaged and ready for the ride home.
So far so good. Some restaurants have even started advertising the extra Scan & Go offer with window stickers. Practical, helpful and a quick way to bring in new diners and build your business. Still not convinced? What comes next, should be enough to convert you to sunday.
A pocket full of gold
Since the beginning, our mission at sunday has not changed: make the lives of restaurants and their team easier day after day. Payments were phase one (+5,000 restaurants partners and counting), and ordering was the natural next step.
In restaurants, bars, terraces or food courts and any high volume places, it’s a huge value add. Foremost, for you as restaurateurs. Our partner restaurants have seen:
- +20% more order and +12% increase in average basket size
Diners now have time to fully enjoy themselves and make the most of their stay. Skip dessert so you don’t miss your early afternoon meeting? No way. Now there’s plenty of time for a slice of cheesecake and a coffee. It’s the small things that make a difference and you’ll see this reflected in higher sales.
- +15 minutes saved per table
Done is the wait to pay the bill or the sharing of card machines. Streamline operations, turn tables faster, serve more guests. What’s not to like?
- Greater diner insights
Get to know your guests and drive long term loyalty. sunday lets you understand their preferences and gives you the tools to make informed decisions to better the diner experience. Be it with special offers or menu items that sell, create meaningful value.
- Smart, dynamic and beautiful menus
Picture perfect – the sleekest menus to help guests make their decision, add extras and to encourage them to order more and more.
sunday is a massive win for your team as well:
- + 40% more tips
Happy diners mean grateful diners. If the guest experience is nailed, then tips will come soaring in.
- More time to focus on what matters
Less time processing payments and less time taking orders means time gained to serve more covers and focus on the essentials. Our solution makes the lives of restaurant staff easy and straightforward. sunday eliminates the most painful parts of restaurant experience.
They say the diner is king. Well whether you’re for it, diners love having their way:
- Order what they want, when they want
Without ever leaving the comfort of their chair, unless you opt for counter pickup (one step closer to 10k steps 🚶🏽).
- Pay in seconds, with an added tip
Pay at the start and end the meal on a high, free to leave the moment they are ready. Best of all, there are no apps to download, and payments are 100% secure thanks to our payment processor Stripe
- Stop standing around, stop queuing
Take a seat, order with a smartphone and make the most your lunch, dinner or drinks out. That doesn’t sound too bad;
I think you can tell, we are VERY excited and proud to offer Order & Pay to restaurants nationwide. This is the product of months of hard work, but we are convinced this will change the lives of thousands of restaurants, bars, hotels and other hospitality businesses.
