unTill POS Integration with Splitty: Faster Checkout

Your unTill POS does its job just fine on the floor, but checkout still eats up too much time. Guests wait for the bill, staff run back and forth with the card terminal, and on a busy terrace the waiting time adds up fast. There is a smarter way. By connecting your unTill POS to a QR payment solution like Splitty, you settle tables in around 15 seconds on average, without your team constantly walking over. Guests scan, split the bill themselves and pay instantly.

In this guide you will learn exactly how the unTill integration works, what it delivers for your revenue and tips, and what to look out for when choosing a hospitality payment system. We will show how venues working with Splitty collect an average of 5x more tips, and why a solid integration makes the difference between chaos and calm during the rush. Practical, no fuss, and ready to apply straight away.

What is unTill and who is it for?

unTill is a POS system widely used across European hospitality. It is known for its flexibility and is popular with restaurants, cafes, brasseries and venues with complex service structures.

The system runs on fixed tills and mobile handhelds, so you can take orders directly at the table and send them straight to the kitchen or bar. For busy venues with multiple departments, that is a major advantage.

Why operators choose unTill:

• Extensive features for table management and service
• Handhelds for ordering at the table
• Reporting and stock control
• Suitable from small venues up to large hospitality concepts

One thing keeps coming back as a bottleneck, though: the checkout. Even with a good POS system, your staff are still tied to walking around with the card terminal. That is exactly where a connected payment system comes in.

Why connect your unTill POS to a payment system?

Connecting your unTill POS to a QR payment system solves the biggest time drain in your venue: the payment moment. As soon as guests want to pay, waiting time usually appears. Someone has to fetch the bill, grab the card terminal, walk over and sometimes split it too. That costs minutes per table, and during the rush it really adds up.

With an integration, that problem largely disappears. Guests scan a QR code on the table, instantly see their own order from the unTill POS and pay themselves. They handle split billing without any involvement from your team.

The main reasons to connect:

• Faster checkout: an average of 15 seconds per payment instead of minutes of waiting
• More tips: venues working with Splitty see an average of 5x more tips
• Less workload: your team focuses on service and guests, not the card terminal
• Higher table turnover: tables free up faster during busy moments
• Automatic sync: orders and payments stay in step with your POS

How does the unTill integration with Splitty work?

The integration between your unTill POS and Splitty runs through a direct connection. As soon as a guest places an order, it appears in your POS. Splitty pulls in this table information, so the guest sees exactly what has been ordered and what the outstanding bill is.

Here is how the process works in practice:

1. The guest places an order, which is registered in unTill
2. A QR code sits on the table (on a stand, sticker or receipt)
3. The guest scans and instantly sees the live bill from the POS
4. They choose: pay everything, split per item, or enter a custom amount
5. The payment is processed and fed back to unTill
6. The table is automatically marked as paid in your POS system

The beauty is that you do not have to track anything manually. The payment is booked off automatically in unTill, so at the end of the night your till balances. No double administration, no errors with open tables.

This approach closely resembles our Lightspeed integration for faster checkout, where the same proven setup delivers calm on the floor and a balanced till.

Splitting without the hassle

One of the biggest frustrations at the table is splitting the bill. Four guests, everyone ordered something different, and the staff have to work out manually who pays what. With the unTill integration, guests do this themselves.

They can choose from:

• Split equally across the number of people
• Select per dish or drink what they had
• Enter their own custom amount

5 benefits of faster checkout in your restaurant

Faster checkout in your restaurant is not just pleasant for the guest, it directly affects your revenue and work atmosphere. Below are the five key benefits of a connected hospitality payment system.

1. More tips for your team

Digital checkout makes tipping easy. The guest gets a clear tip suggestion on their screen and taps it with one press. Venues working with Splitty see an average of 5x more tips coming in. Want to get even more out of this? Then read our step-by-step plan to increase tips in your restaurant.

2. Higher table turnover

If guests check out in 15 seconds, a table frees up faster. On a busy terrace or during a full evening service, that means more revenue per seat without creating more stress on the floor.

3. Less pressure on the team

Your staff no longer have to walk back and forth with the card terminal. That saves hundreds of trips per evening and gives your team room to be genuinely hospitable.

4. Fewer POS errors

Because payments feed back automatically to unTill, errors with open or double-booked tables disappear. Your till balances at the end of the shift.

5. A better guest experience

Guests decide for themselves when and how they pay. No frustrating wait for the bill. That raises satisfaction and the chance of a returning guest. In 5 tips to improve the guest experience with smart payment solutions you will read how to get even more out of this.

unTill integration step by step

Setting up the unTill integration does not have to be a technical project spanning weeks. In essence, you go through these steps to get started with faster checkout.

1. Map your setup: look at how many tables you have and where the QR codes should go
2. Get in touch for the integration: Splitty handles the technical connection with your unTill POS
3. Test the sync: check that orders come through correctly and payments feed back
4. Place the QR codes: on table stands, stickers or on the receipt
5. Brief your team: briefly explain how it works so they can help guests
6. Go live and monitor: review your first transactions and tips through the restaurant portal

Most venues are operational quickly, because the integration builds on the existing unTill environment. You do not have to buy a new POS system.

What does a hospitality payment system with unTill cost?

The cost of a hospitality payment system combined with your unTill POS depends on your venue, the number of tables and the transaction volume. There are roughly three cost items to keep in mind.

• Transaction fees: a percentage or fixed amount per payment
• Subscription or service fees: for using the platform and support
• One-off setup: for the integration and any materials such as QR stands

Because prices differ per provider and per situation, we always advise requesting current rates. Weigh the costs against the return: more tips, higher table turnover and less pressure often comfortably outweigh the investment.

A venue working with Splitty processes an average of 450 transactions per month through the system. Do the math on what faster checkout and 5x more tips at that scale means for your monthly revenue.

unTill compared to other hospitality POS systems

unTill is not the only POS system in hospitality. Many operators compare it with systems such as Lightspeed, Vectron or MplusKASSA. Each system has its own strengths and focus.

What the choice mainly comes down to:

• Type of venue: a cafe has different needs than a fine dining restaurant
• Table service: how important are handhelds and mobile ordering?
• Integrations: can you connect the POS system to a payment system like Splitty?
• Reporting: what insights do you want to get from your data?
• Support: how quickly do you get help if something goes wrong during service?

The common thread: whatever POS system you have, the gain lies in the integration with a smart payment system. A good unTill integration delivers faster checkout, no matter how advanced your till is otherwise.

Practical example: from queue to calm

To make concrete what an unTill integration does, we sketch a recognisable situation. Note: this is a hypothetical example that reflects the daily reality of many venues.

Situation: imagine a brasserie with a 40-table terrace running on an unTill POS. On sunny days the terrace is full and the staff work on handhelds.

Problem: checkout grinds to a halt. Guests want to pay at the same time, the staff run around with a single card terminal, and splitting bills costs several minutes per table. Tables stay occupied too long, guests get impatient, and tips lag behind because there is barely any time for a tip suggestion.

Solution: the venue connects the unTill POS to Splitty. A QR code goes on every table. Guests scan, see their order, split themselves and pay instantly. The payment feeds back automatically to unTill.

Result: checkout goes from minutes to an average of 15 seconds. The staff no longer walk around with the card terminal but focus on service. Tables free up faster, and the tip suggestion on screen delivers an average of 5x more tips at Splitty venues. The administration balances at the end of the shift, without manual follow-up work.

You see this pattern at many venues switching to contactless checkout. Read more about that development in our article on the future of contactless payment in hospitality.

What to look for when choosing?

When choosing a payment system for your unTill POS, keep an eye on a few essential points. This checklist helps you make a well-considered choice.

• Direct integration: does the system genuinely work with unTill, including automatic feedback?
• Split function: can guests split themselves in different ways?
• Speed: how fast does an average payment run?
• Tip function: is there a clear tip suggestion that encourages guests?
• Insight: do you get a dashboard or restaurant portal with your transactions and tips?
• Support: is help available the moment you need it?
• Reliability: does the system run stably during the rush?

Take the time to go through these points before you make a choice. A system that does not connect well with your unTill POS only creates extra work. Unsure what fits your venue best? Get in touch and we will look at the right setup together.
