How it works

Card in, clean totals out.

Waitery takes payment wherever the guest is — at the table on the handheld, at the counter on the smart POS terminal, or on the guest's own phone — then handles tips and provincial tax automatically.

01
Tap, chip, or swipe

Every server handheld and the smart POS terminal take cards directly — tap, chip, or swipe at the table or the counter. No separate card machine, no re-keying totals, no walking the card away.

02
Guests pay from their phone

On QR orders, guests check out with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, or Mastercard right from their own phone. The bill is settled the moment they tap — no waiting on the terminal to come around.

03
Tips prompted at the table

A clear tip prompt appears at payment — on the handheld and on the guest's phone alike. Guests pick a percentage or a custom amount, and tips flow into the day's totals automatically.

04
Provincial tax, automatic

GST, HST, PST, and QST are applied automatically based on your province — set once per location. Every receipt and report shows the right tax line without anyone doing the math.

Why it matters at close

Secure at the table. Settled by close.

Secure, tokenized payments

Card data is tokenized at the point of payment and never touches Waitery servers. Whether a guest taps the handheld or pays from their own phone, the card number is never stored — on any Waitery system, ever.

One payment flow, every surface

Handheld, smart POS terminal, and QR checkout all settle into the same system — one set of totals, no juggling separate machines or statements.

End-of-day in the dashboard

Payments, tips, and taxes reconcile automatically in the owner dashboard. Close the day with one clean summary instead of a stack of terminal slips.

FAQ

Payment questions, answered.

What payment methods can guests use?

At the table, servers take tap, chip, or swipe on the handheld or smart POS terminal. On QR orders, guests pay from their own phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, or Mastercard. Everything settles into the same end-of-day totals.

Are card details stored on Waitery servers?

No. Card data is tokenized at the point of payment and never touches Waitery servers — not on the handheld, not on QR checkout. Waitery systems only ever see a secure token, never the card number.

How do tips work?

A tip prompt appears at payment — preset percentages or a custom amount — on both the server handheld and the guest's own phone for QR orders. Tips are tracked per payment and roll up automatically into end-of-day reconciliation in the owner dashboard.
