Splitting is easy when the order was built with seats in mind. Each item is tied to a seat as it is entered, so the final split is a tap, not a negotiation with a calculator.
The same tools handle splitting evenly, by item and by custom amount, and each guest can pay with their own card or tap.
Take the order seat by seat so each item has an owner.
For groups who share, an even split is one tap.
Guests pay for what they ordered, including shared appetizers split among seats.
Each payment gets its own tip prompt so servers are paid fairly.
| Method | When to use | What staff do |
|---|---|---|
| By seat | Separate meals | Assign seats at ordering |
| Evenly | Shared plates | Choose the number of ways |
| By item | Mixed orders | Select items per guest |
| Custom amount | Fixed contributions | Enter amounts per card |
