How Can Servers Increase Their Earnings with sunday?

This new initiative is designed to directly reward servers for the important role they play in delivering a great guest experience through our Pay at Table solution.
With this program, servers can earn additional income by actively introducing and encouraging guests to use sunday for a fast, seamless way to pay.
Program Overview: Performance Challenge
The incentive program is built around recurring performance challenges, short, time-bound campaigns with clear goals and rewards.
Initial Challenge Details:
Reward: Servers will earn $1 for every table that successfully completes payment via the sunday QR code.
