QikServe

Let Guests Order on a Tab. Pay Once at the End. 

Perfect for bars, casual dining and venues where guests settle in for the occasion. Open Check lets your customers order across the whole visit without interrupting their time, then pay via QikServe or with a team member when they’re ready. No paying per round. No waiting for the card machine. Just a tab that works the way a tab should. 

Everything your guests need to run a tab from their phone

Running tab across the visit 

A single check stays open from the moment a guest scans in, to the moment they’re ready to leave. Every order goes straight on the tab. No separate transactions, no paying per round. 

Multiple rounds, one check 

Guests can place as many orders as they want across the whole visit. Each round is added to the same open check on the POS in real time, so your team always has an accurate view of the tab. 

No app download required 

Open Check runs in the guest's phone browser. Nothing to install, nothing to register for. Guests scan and order in seconds.

Deferred payment 

Guests settle at the end of the visit, not at the end of each drink. They can pay via QikServe Pay at Table or with a member of staff. Either way, they pay when it suits them. 

Real-time POS integration 

Every order lands on the POS the moment it’s placed. Your team sees the full tab building in real time, with no manual input and no re-keying required. 

Real-time menu control 

Update items, change pricing, or mark things as unavailable instantly. Every change appears across all active tables without touching a printed menu. 

Built for how bars and casual dining venues actually run

Not every venue sells one order, one payment. Bars, late-night spots and casual dining venues operate on longer dwell times, multiple rounds and a tab that builds across the night. A product that makes guests pay per order creates friction at exactly the wrong moment. 

QikServe Open Check is designed for exactly this operating model. Guests scan in, order when they want, and the check stays open until they’re ready to close it. Your team keeps full visibility on the POS throughout, and payment happens at a natural close to the visit, not midway through it.

Common questions about Open Check

What is Open Check?

QikServe Open Check is a tab ordering product. It allows guests to place multiple orders across their visit, with all items accumulating on a single running check opened on the POS. Guests pay once at the end of their session, rather than paying at the point of each order. It is designed for bars and casual dining venues where guests typically stay for an extended period and order in rounds. 

How is Open Check different from Order and Pay?

QikServe Order & Pay is a complete order-and-pay-now product. Guests browse the menu, place an order, and pay immediately in a single uninterrupted flow. Each transaction is independent QikServe Open Check defers payment. Guests order as many rounds as they want across their visit and the check stays open on the POS throughout. Payment happens once, at the natural close of the visit The right product depends on your venue type. Order & Pay suits dine-in and click and collect operations where guests pay per order. Open Check suits bars and casual dining where a running tab is the expected experience. If you are not sure which fits your venue, book a demo and our team will help. 

Do guests need to download an app?

No. QikServe Open Check is fully web-based. Guests scan a QR code at the table and the ordering flow opens in their phone browser. There is nothing to download and no account required. 

How does payment work at the end of the visit?

When guests are ready to leave, they can pay via QikServe Pay at Table directly from their own device, or settle with a member of staff in the usual way. Payment is not locked into a single method, so your team retains flexibility on how the check is closed. 

Does Open Check integrate with our EPoS?

Yes. Orders placed via Open Check go straight to your POS in real time, and the tab builds automatically throughout the visit. For a full list of supported POS integrations, speak to our team when you book a demo.
