Split bills

When guests want to pay separately, open the check in the POS and press Pay. Under Split the bill choose how to split. Splits are saved on the check, so they're still there after a reload or on another device.

By person

Enter the number of people (2 to 50) and press Split (n) ways. The amount still due is shared out; any rounding left over goes to the last share. Pressing it again replaces the open splits.

By items

Tick what one guest had and press Add split. For a dish ordered several times, use the plus and minus to give them just some of the quantity (for example 1 of 3 beers); the next guest can take the rest. Their bill includes their share of tax and service charge (no service charge when it was removed from the bill), using the tax class of their own items (food GST and liquor VAT stay separate). The guest who takes the last items pays exactly what is left, so the bills always add up.

By amount

Type an amount for one guest. You can't go over what is still unclaimed.

Print and pay each split

Every split shows its amount, a Print bill button and Pay.

• Print bill prints a bill with only that guest's items (or "Share 2 of 4" for an equal or amount split), their share of tax and charges, and the whole check's total for reference. It goes to your bill printers, or opens a printable bill if you have none. Print all bills prints every split.
• Pay opens the usual payment form with the amount fixed to that split: choose the method, add a tip and record it. The split shows Paid. A split is always paid in full, once.
• The check closes when the last split is paid. A tip on one split doesn't change the others.
• Remove (the bin) deletes a split that isn't paid yet.

Anything not covered by a split shows as "Not in a split yet". You can add another split for it.

If the check changes

Voiding or adding items, a discount or a coupon, or removing the service charge (or putting it back) changes what the guests owe, so the open splits are cancelled with a note ("The check changed, so the open split bills were cancelled"). Splits that were already paid stay. Split again for the rest.

Good to know

• Split bills need the POS and an internet connection. The offline POS keeps its part payments instead.
• Tips already on the check are left out of the shares.
• See Recording payments and Running bar tabs.
