Considering sunday?
sunday, compared honestly
sunday is a payments company: QR pay-at-table that lets guests settle the bill from their phone, built to sit on top of an existing POS. It made its name cutting the wait at the end of the meal.
Their positioning, in their words: Pay-at-table payments for restaurants
Where sunday is a strong choice
- Full-service restaurants whose main problem is the last five minutes of the meal
- Operators who want to add phone payment without changing anything else in the stack
- Sites where tips and settlement speed matter more than online ordering
If that is your situation, they deserve a fair look. Here is where the two platforms genuinely differ.
Where the two differ
Payments feature vs ordering platform
Pay-at-table is one of Storekit's eight channels, not the product. If the bill is your only bottleneck, a payments specialist is a reasonable buy. If guests should also be ordering - at the table, for collection, for delivery, for the office lunch - you are buying a platform, not a payment method.
The off-premise half
A payments layer does nothing for takeaway, delivery, click and collect, or catering. Storekit runs all of them off the same menu and the same guest database as the at-table experience.
The guest record
On Storekit every payment builds a customer record you own and can export. Ask any payments provider who holds the guest data and what you can take with you.
Five questions to ask both of us
Whatever you choose, put the same questions to every platform on your shortlist - including Storekit - and get the answers in writing.
01
Can you export your customer list today, without asking?
This is the ownership test. If the answer is no, you are renting a marketplace with your logo on it.
02
Is the fee a flat per-order rate or a percentage of the basket?
Percentages scale with your prices and your success. Flat rates do not.
03
Does it cover every channel you run - or will you need a second system?
Takeaway, delivery, collection, at-table, and catering off one menu, or you will maintain five menus.
04
Does it drop orders into your EPOS, or does someone re-key them?
Re-keying is the hidden labour cost of most ordering systems. Ask for the integration list in writing.
05
What happens on your busiest night?
Ask about capacity controls per time slot, pausing a channel mid-service, and what support answers at 7pm on a Friday.
Weighing the rest of the field
sunday and Storekit, asked directly
Is sunday an online ordering system?
sunday is primarily a pay-at-table payments product - guests scan a QR code to view and settle the bill. It is not a full direct ordering platform for takeaway, delivery, and collection. Storekit covers pay-at-table as one channel of eight.
Can Storekit replace sunday?
For pay-at-table, yes - scan, split, and settle from the guest's phone, reconciled against your EPOS. The difference is that the same platform also runs your direct takeaway, delivery, collection, and catering channels.
What is the best sunday alternative for UK restaurants?
It depends what you are solving. If you only want faster bill settlement, compare payments specialists. If you want the bill and the ordering - on-premise and off - on one system with a customer list you own, that is what Storekit is built for.
