What is the difference between TabSettle and Sunday?

Both let guests pay at the table with a QR code. The difference is the session model: TabSettle puts the whole table on a single synchronized live check — everyone claims items, splits shared plates, and pays inside one shared session, watching the same check update in real time. Sunday's checkout runs per guest, from each diner's own screen.

Can Sunday split the bill between guests?

Sunday offers basic bill splitting by equal division, but does not support item-level collaborative splitting. TabSettle lets guests claim specific items and split shared dishes with a tap, all updating live across every phone at the table.

Why do restaurants switch from Sunday to TabSettle?

Restaurants switch for the single synchronized session: the whole table splits one shared live check together. Groups of 4-6+ can split by item, share plates fairly, tip individually, and settle in under 60 seconds. TabSettle also charges no monthly fee — just 0.75% per transaction, only when guests pay through TabSettle.

Is TabSettle available in the US?

Yes. TabSettle operates in the US market and integrates with major POS systems including Clover, Square, Toast, and more. Sunday has a stronger European presence, while TabSettle is focused on the US restaurant market.

Giving credit where it's due

Where Sunday works well

Sunday built a solid product. Here's where it shines.

Speed of payment

For tables where one person pays the whole bill, Sunday is fast and frictionless. Scan, tip, pay, done.

European market presence

Sunday has strong traction in Europe and is well-established in the QR pay-at-table space.

Simple guest experience

The interface is clean and straightforward. For single-payer scenarios, it's excellent.

The TabSettle advantage

Where TabSettle wins

Traditional payment tools help a guest pay. TabSettle lets the whole table settle together.

Built for splitting, not just paying

Sunday handles payment. TabSettle handles the hard part: who owes what. Item-level claiming, shared plate splitting, real-time collaboration.

The Google Docs of bill splitting

Everyone at the table is in the same session. You see items get claimed live. No confusion, no after-dinner Venmo chain.

Shared items split in the shared session

That appetizer four people shared? Tap it, pick who shared it, and the math is done across every phone — in one session the whole table sees.

One settlement, not twelve

Sunday creates a separate transaction for each guest. TabSettle consolidates everything into one clean settlement for your POS. Less reconciliation, fewer errors.

Real-world scenario

Saturday brunch, table of six

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 everyone tips on their own share.
