Sunday is a great pay-at-table tool. But when 8 guests share appetizers and need to split the check fairly, they're on their own.
The differences become obvious when a table of friends actually needs to split the bill.
| Feature | Sunday | TabSettle |

| Splitting method | Per-guest checkout, on separate screens | Item-level claiming, shared item splitting |
| Real-time collaboration | No — individual payment only | Yes — everyone sees the same live session |
| Shared items | No single shared session for the table | Tap to split any item by any number |
| Guest visibility | Each guest sees their own screen | Everyone sees who's claiming what |
| Settlement | Multiple separate transactions | One clean settlement to your POS |
| POS integration | Select partners | Square & Clover direct; alongside others via OCR |
Sunday built a solid product. Here's where it shines.
For tables where one person pays the whole bill, Sunday is fast and frictionless. Scan, tip, pay, done.
Sunday has strong traction in Europe and is well-established in the QR pay-at-table space.
The interface is clean and straightforward. For single-payer scenarios, it's excellent.
When the bill needs to be split fairly across a group, TabSettle is in a category of its own.
Sunday handles payment. TabSettle handles the hard part: who owes what. Item-level claiming, shared plate splitting, real-time collaboration.
Everyone at the table is in the same session. You see items get claimed live. No confusion, no after-dinner Venmo chain.
That appetizer 4 people shared? Tap to split it. The bottle of wine the table ordered? Split by any number. Sunday can't do this.
Sunday creates a separate transaction for each guest. TabSettle consolidates everything into one clean settlement for your POS. Less reconciliation, fewer errors.
Six friends finish brunch. Three shared the pancake stack. Two split a mimosa pitcher. One had an omelette solo.
With per-guest checkout, each diner settles from their own screen — there is no single live check the whole table shares. Someone still ends up covering the difference, the Venmo requests start flying, and the waiter processes six separate cards.
With TabSettle, everyone scans the same QR code. They see the full bill. They tap their items. The shared pancakes get split three ways automatically. Everyone pays exactly what they owe — and tips are 23% higher because nobody feels like they subsidized someone else's meal.
