Price your quiet hours.
Put in your own average bill and the discount you’d actually be willing to set, and see exactly what the table pays you. Every figure is produced by the same code that settles a real bill in this app — not a sales approximation of it.

No commission. No monthly fee. No setup fee. No hardware. No contract — leave any day and keep your data. The card processing charge above is your bank’s, not ours, and Zikiti keeps none of it. We are paid by your guest, on what they save.
Tips are separate. The $14.40 tip on this table goes straight to the server who worked it — Zikiti never takes a cut, and it is not part of the figure above. Card processing covers the whole payment, tip included, exactly as your terminal does today.

Walking in off the street the same meal and tip would have cost them $94.40. They saved $6.80. Zikiti’s fee is 15% of that saving, charged to them and capped at $4.99 — it is never deducted from your payout.

A booked table is two card payments — the $6.00 deposit taken 45 minutes before the sitting, and the bill at the table — so 3.15% + $0.30 applies to each. It is a blended rate covering your bank’s per-charge, per-payout and monthly account costs together; Zikiti keeps none of it and absorbs the extra on an international card. If the guest never turns up, the deposit is captured and goes to you, less that same fee.
The $14.40 tip is not in this column — it is collected on top and paid straight to the server who worked the table.
Always calculated on the full, pre-discount bill, never the discounted total. Your server does not pay for your discount, and 100% of the tip is attributed to the named staff member who served that table. Zikiti never takes a share of a tip.
If the guest never turns up, or cancels inside 45 minutes, the booking deposit is captured and goes to you — less the card processing charge. A $6.00 deposit on a two-top pays you $5.51. Zikiti earns $0.00 on a no-show. We don’t get paid when you get stood up.
