Italian term or phrase: conto/pagamento al tavolo
Devo tradurre questa frase:

"Per evitare assembramenti alla cassa, i clienti possono richiedere il conto/pagamento al tavolo".

Mi servirebbero suggerimenti per la seconda parte, ho fatto alcune ricerche per "pagamento al tavolo" ma ho trovato frasi che non mi convincono.

Grazie :)

English translation:bill/payment at the table
Explanation:
"To prevent crowding at the till, customers can ask for the bill and pay at their table."

"Bill" would be "check" for US audiences. "Cash register" is an alternative for "till".

Or you could get more creative and say "...customers can ask their server for the check and pay without leaving their seat."
