Sunday solves one problem. QwikEat solves several.

Sunday built its product around a single use case: letting dine-in customers scan a QR code at the table to view and pay their bill. It reduces the time waitstaff spend processing payments and can improve table turnover. For restaurants that only need faster bill payment, Sunday does that job well.

But payment is just one part of the restaurant experience. Sunday does not let customers browse your menu and place orders from their phone. It does not handle click and collect for takeaway. It does not give you online ordering for customers who want to order before they arrive. It is a payment tool, not an ordering platform.

QwikEat covers the full ordering workflow. Dine-in customers scan a table QR code to browse your menu, select items, customize their order, and pay. Online customers order from your branded page for pickup or delivery. Every order flows through one dashboard, and you get analytics, loyalty tools, and customer data across all channels.

QR ordering, not just QR payment

Sunday lets customers pay a bill. QwikEat lets them browse your menu, build an order, and pay. The difference: customers interact with your menu directly, which increases average order value through upsells and add-ons.

Online ordering included

QwikEat is not limited to dine-in. Your branded ordering page handles click and collect, delivery, and pre-orders. Sunday only works when the customer is physically at the table.

Loyalty programs across all channels

Build customer loyalty whether they order dine-in, takeaway, or online. Sunday does not offer loyalty or retention tools, so you miss the chance to turn one-time visitors into regulars.

Complete analytics dashboard

Track order volumes, popular items, peak times, average basket size, and customer return rates across every channel. Sunday's analytics focus only on payment speed and tip data.

Lower cost per transaction

QwikEat charges €1 per order on the Flexible plan. Sunday charges a percentage of each payment processed, which scales with your bill sizes. On a €50 table bill, the difference adds up quickly.

Customer data ownership

Every order through QwikEat gives you the customer's contact information. You can send follow-up offers, launch email campaigns, and track retention. Sunday collects payment data but does not give you marketing-usable customer profiles.

How QwikEat QR dine-in ordering works

1

Generate table QR codes

Create unique QR codes for each table in your restaurant. Print them on table tents, stickers, or placeholders.

2

Customers scan and order

Diners scan the code, see your full menu on their phone, add items to their cart, customize options, and submit the order directly to your kitchen.

3

Kitchen receives and prepares

Orders appear in your QwikEat dashboard in real time. No waiter needed for order taking, which frees up staff for service and hospitality.

Pay per order, not per payment processed

Sunday charges a percentage of each payment, which means higher bills cost you more. QwikEat charges €1 per order regardless of the order total. For a restaurant averaging €40 per table, QwikEat's flat fee is significantly cheaper than a percentage-based model. The Basic plan at €29/month with €0.25 per order is even more economical at higher volumes.

FAQ

Can I use QwikEat just for dine-in QR ordering?
Yes. While QwikEat includes online ordering and click and collect, you can use it exclusively for dine-in QR ordering if that is your priority. You only pay per order, so you are never paying for features you do not use.
Does Sunday allow customers to order from the QR code?
No. Sunday's QR codes are designed for bill payment and tipping. Customers see the bill, split it if needed, and pay. They cannot browse the menu, add items, or place new orders through Sunday's QR system.
Will QR ordering reduce my staffing needs?
QR ordering reduces the time waitstaff spend taking orders and processing payments. Most restaurants do not cut staff but redeploy them toward hospitality, table clearing, and customer interaction, which improves the overall dining experience.
Can QwikEat handle table-specific orders?
Yes. Each table gets a unique QR code linked to that table number. When a customer scans and orders, the kitchen sees exactly which table the order is for. Multiple diners at the same table can scan and add items independently.
What about tip collection?
Sunday emphasizes tipping as a key feature. QwikEat focuses on the ordering and payment flow. Tips can be handled through the payment process, but QwikEat's primary value is in the ordering system itself, not in optimizing tip collection.
