Sunday vs Servio: QR payments alongside your till, or one system
Sunday is a guest payment and ordering platform: guests scan to view the bill, split, tip and pay, or order and pay, and it integrates with UK till systems such as Lightspeed and Epos Now. Servio is the till itself, with QR order and pay and the kitchen display on one menu.
Prices checked 28 October 2026, excluding VAT; Sunday’s transaction fees are not published, so confirm them in your purchase order.

The short version
Sunday Standard is £149/month and Premium £199/month, excluding VAT, usually alongside a till system you already pay for; its transaction fees are set in each venue’s purchase order. Servio Starter is £89/month and includes the till, QR order and pay, one kitchen station and loyalty, so there’s one system and one menu. If you’re happy with your till system and only want pay-at-table, Sunday can add it alongside.
