01
When sunday may fit
sunday may fit a restaurant that wants a broader payment and operations platform, including terminals, digital bills, online reputation tools, analytics and POS integrations.
Its Order & Pay page covers table and counter service, takeaway, reordering, tips, reviews and collection notifications.
02
When Café QR may fit
Café QR may fit an independent café that does not need a wider restaurant suite and wants table ordering, a live staff screen and an opt-in customer list in one lower-priced plan.
The café connects its own Stripe account and remains the merchant. Café QR does not hold guest funds and adds a 0% platform fee.
03
Confirm the package details
sunday’s official pricing table contains package choices and optional add-ons. Confirm whether the £99 package should use digital bill or digital ordering, and ask for the full payment, hardware, onboarding and contract costs for your venue.
Café QR has one £29 plan after its free trial. Stripe processing remains separate, and usage above the included 500 monthly marketing messages is pay-as-you-go.
