Seated at 20:14.
Gone by 21:38, without waiting for anyone.
The parts of service you cannot automate are the parts worth paying for. Everything else — taking the order, finding a terminal, dividing the bill — is a queue standing between your team and the next table.

The hardest two minutes
Six ways to divide one bill.
None of them involve a calculator.
Splitting is arithmetic performed under social pressure by people who have been drinking. It is the longest and least pleasant moment of the evening, and it happens at every table with more than two people.
18s Average time to split a bill on Quivi
- 01
Evenly
One tap. The bill divides by the number of people paying.
- 02
By item
Each guest selects what they ordered from their own screen.
- 03
By share
Custom proportions when one person is covering more.
- 04
Partial now
Someone pays part of the bill; the balance stays open.
- 05
One pays
The table settles on a single card, tip included.
- 06
Cash and card
Mixed settlement without breaking the ticket.
Where the time goes
A Friday service,
hour by hour.
Covers are not spread evenly and neither is the pressure. The bottleneck is rarely the kitchen — it is the eleven minutes at the end of each table when service has finished but the table is not yet free.
Turning tables faster at peak is the only way to add covers without adding tables, staff or hours.

One system
Five logins per shift.
Four bills per month.
The average venue runs a POS, a card terminal from someone else, a delivery tablet, a reservations tool and a reporting spreadsheet that reconciles none of them. Quivi is a Paybyrd company, so the till and the payments are one contract and one support number.

Recognition
The card is the loyalty card.
No plastic, no app, no sign-up.
The same card that pays is the identifier. A returning guest is recognised at the table and at the counter, across every one of your locations, without anyone being asked to join anything.
- Recognised on the second visit, not the tenth
- Works across every venue you operate, on one guest record
- Runs on network tokens and BIN metadata — never the card number
- Nothing for the guest to install, remember or carry
Why this matters
The bill is the slowest part
of the meal.
Everything before it has been optimised for decades — the kitchen, the menu, the seating plan. Then service stops dead while somebody finds a card machine, walks it to the table, and does arithmetic out loud for six people who are already standing up.
- 01
Table turn is the only capacity you can add for free
You cannot add covers without adding tables, staff or hours — except at the end of the meal. The twelve minutes between asking for the bill and vacating the table is dead time on a finite asset, repeated every sitting, every night. Compress it and you have added covers to a Friday without hiring anyone or moving a wall.
- 02
The card machine is a staffing decision in disguise
Every payment that requires a member of staff to walk to the table, wait, and walk back is labour spent on administration rather than service. On a busy night that is not an inconvenience; it is the difference between a section running smoothly and a section running behind. Paying from the guest's own phone takes the whole task out of the rota.
- 03
Splitting is where good service goes to die
Dividing a bill is arithmetic performed under social pressure by people who have been drinking. It produces the longest, most error-prone and least pleasant moment of the evening — and it is entirely avoidable. When the table splits on their own screens, six ways if they want, the awkwardness disappears and so does the queue at the till.
- 04
The card already knows who your regulars are
Loyalty schemes fail because they ask the guest to do something: download, sign up, remember, carry. The card they are already paying with is a stable identifier across every one of your venues. Recognition on the second visit, with no plastic and no app, is the version of loyalty people actually participate in — because participation is not required.
You cannot add tables. You can stop wasting the last twelve minutes of every one.
Quivi is a Paybyrd company — the same engineering team, the same support, the same contract — so the point of sale, the payments and the guest recognition are one system rather than three vendors pointing at each other when service goes down.
FAQ
Restaurants, answered.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Ordering and payment open in the phone's browser from a QR code on the table. There is no app to install, no account to create and nothing for the guest to remember on the next visit — which is the reason adoption at the table is high rather than theoretical.
Does this replace my POS or sit alongside it?
It can do either. Quivi is a full point-of-sale — orders, kitchen display, floor plan, reporting — so most venues run it as their POS. If you already have a POS you are committed to, Paybyrd terminals and pay-at-table work alongside it and the payment side is handled either way.
What happens when the Wi-Fi drops mid-service?
Terminals keep taking card payments offline and reconcile when the connection returns, so service does not stop because the router did. QR ordering needs the guest's own mobile data or your Wi-Fi; if both are down, staff take the order on a handheld as normal.
How do tips reach the staff?
Tips are captured at payment and reported separately from revenue, so distribution follows whatever policy you already run — per shift, per section, pooled or individual. The figures are in the same reporting as everything else rather than in a separate app somebody has to reconcile by hand.
Can I run several venues on one account?
Yes. Multiple venues sit under one merchant account with per-venue reporting, per-venue menus and a single settlement. Guest recognition works across all of them, so a regular at one location is known at the next.
