PayTray

PayTray is a UK QR table-payment service for restaurants, cafes and bars. Guests scan a code, see the live bill, split it, tip and pay in the browser with cards or wallets, while an admin dashboard shows tables, payments, refunds and receipts. It sits between the table, the restaurant's own payment provider and its EPOS, and is billed as a monthly subscription per restaurant.
