QikServe Pay at Table

QikServe Pay at Table is a web-based mobile payment service for hospitality venues, letting guests retrieve and settle checks from their own phones at tables, counters, or drive-thrus. It suits multi-site operators that need guest-led payment and POS connectivity; its custom pricing and compatibility requirements make a sales discussion essential before adoption.

Overview

Guests open QikPay by scanning a QR code, tapping an NFC tag, or following a URL. No app installation or account is required, which removes a common point of friction for occasional diners and visitors. The same flow supports table, counter, and drive-thru service, so operators can use one payment approach across different service formats.

QikPay retrieves the guest's check, then lets them review it, pay part or all of the balance, and add a tip. Partial payment is useful when a group wants to divide a bill without asking staff to calculate every share. Tips can use configured percentages or a guest-entered amount calculated on the net check total. Apple Pay and Google Pay are listed payment options, and a receipt can be emailed after payment when the guest supplies an address.

Key features

Guest-led checkout

Moving payment to a guest's own device reduces handoffs of shared terminals and supports a touchless process. It is particularly practical for busy dining rooms and high-throughput counter or drive-thru operations. The browser-based experience avoids forcing customers to find and install another app.

Splitting, tips and receipts

Amount-based split payments handle uneven contributions better than a simple equal split. Percentage presets and custom tip entry give venues control while preserving guest choice. Email receipts provide a digital record, although receipt delivery depends on the guest entering an email address.

Integrations and reconciliation

The datasheet names POS connections for Oracle Micros, NCR Aloha, Dinerware, Access, Maitre’D, Squirrel Systems, POSitouch and XPI; the help page also identifies Oracle, Tevalis and Access. Payment integrations include FreedomPay, Global Payments and Stripe. QikServe says QikConnect has integration options for POS, loyalty, delivery management and kitchen management, and its library spans more than 50 partners across POS, payments, loyalty, CRM and allergen management. Reconciliation tools are included, which matters to operators matching digital payments with venue records.

Scale and support

QikPay is positioned for high-volume, multi-location businesses, with additional languages and currencies available on request. A Customer Success team is provided for customers. These provisions fit branded groups better than a single small venue seeking an off-the-shelf card reader.

Pricing

The QikServe Pay at Table plan uses pricing by contact; no public price, seat allowance, transaction quota, trial, or renewal term is provided. A brochure request is offered. Treat the total cost, payment-processing charges, implementation work, POS requirements, and any language or currency additions as items to confirm with sales.

The plan supports online, tableside, and mobile payments and includes reconciliation tools, but it does not support card-present payments. That makes it a stronger fit for guest-initiated digital checkout than for businesses needing a conventional in-person terminal as part of the same product.

Platforms

QikServe lists Android, iOS and web platforms. Guests use the QikPay web app, so customers can pay from a mobile browser without downloading software. The operator should verify that its chosen POS is supported; QikServe directs venues to Support when a POS is not on the compatibility list.

Who it's for

This is aimed at hospitality businesses, especially high-volume or multi-location groups standardising payment across restaurants, resorts and entertainment venues. QikServe names Denny's, Wynn Resorts, LEGOLAND, Wing Stop, Fridays and Hard Rock Café among brands it powers. The product is less suitable when a venue primarily needs card-present payments, a published self-serve price, or a solution independent of POS integration.

Pros and cons

Pros

• No guest download or account: QR, NFC and URL access keep checkout quick for one-time visitors.
• Flexible bill handling: Guests can split by amount and add configured or custom tips.
• Broad integration scope: Named POS and payment connectors, plus QikConnect categories, support complex hospitality estates.
• Built for scale: Multi-location positioning, reconciliation tools and Customer Success support suit larger operators.

Cons

• Custom pricing: Buyers cannot compare a public fee schedule or published plan limits before contacting QikServe.
• No card-present payments: Venues still needing standard terminal transactions will require another capability.
• Compatibility must be checked: Payment depends on a supported POS or a support-led confirmation.

Alternatives

Choose Dojo if you want a freemium option with a free Essential plan at no cost per location, major card types, real-time transactions and PCI-compliance tools, plus Android, iOS, web and API support.

Paybyrd is a better starting point for online-card processing without monthly fees: its Essential plan is free up to €80K per month, with APMs from €0.20 and €7.50 chargebacks.

Consider SpotOn Payment Processing when an all-in plan combining POS software, hardware, ordering, payments, table layouts and menu management is preferable, accepting its processing minimums and minimum two-year term.

TableSend suits venues seeking a free web service with £0 setup and monthly fees for standard table ordering and QR click-and-collect, with a 7.5% fee on gifts and contributions.

DISH Payment Solutions, Heartland Retail, PayFacto and qlub are alternative payment or hospitality platforms; compare their commercial terms and workflows with your operational needs.

Verdict

Choose QikServe Pay at Table if you run hospitality operations that need browser-based, split-check payments across multiple service points and can work within a POS integration project. Its strongest reason to buy is a friction-light guest journey backed by broad hospitality integrations and reconciliation. Look elsewhere if you need card-present acceptance, transparent public pricing, or a deployment that does not depend on confirming POS compatibility.
