TableSend vs Viva.com

TableSend is a web platform for hospitality, leisure, and entertainment venues. Customers scan a table QR code to browse a food and drink menu and order without an account or app. Menus can show multiple photos, videos, ingredients, and allergen information, and venues can manage item availability. Customers can view the live table bill, pay all or part, split it equally, or choose individual items. They can also share a table link and send food or drinks with a personal message, including from elsewhere. Venue tools cover orders, open tabs, menus, offers, refunds, revenue analytics, and staff activity audit trails. Offers can use percentage or fixed discounts, multi-buy or meal deals, scheduled promotions, and redemption limits. Checkout supports cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Stripe and Stripe Connect. Standard table ordering has no TableSend service fee; gifts and bill contributions carry a 7.5% fee shown before payment. The venue plan has no setup or monthly fees. A branded QR pack is available for £14.99 per month, with a 30-day free trial.
