Split Bill
Overview
Split bill lets one table's order be divided into several sub-bills, so groups can pay separately. It's a POS capability — there's nothing to configure in the admin.
How it works
Split bill works on a table's order. At the POS, a cashier:
- Opens the order and starts a split.
- Taps items in the main order to move them into the split.
- Adds more splits as needed — one per payer or group.
- Takes payment on each split independently; a split shows a Paid badge once settled.
Each split carries its own subtotal, service charge, tax, discount, and total, and can print its own receipt.
Default setup
There is no setup for split bill — it's available on the POS for table orders out of the box. Service charge and tax behaviour within a split follow the outlet's order settings.
Advanced options
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Split by member | Automatically groups items by the member who ordered them — useful when several members ordered on one shared online order. |
| Split by amount | Divides the bill into a chosen number of equal splits instead of moving items. Each split's amount can be edited individually. |
| Partial payment per split | Each split tracks how much is paid and how much remains, so splits can be settled at different times. |
Split by amount
When the group just wants to divide the total evenly rather than separate it by item, use the Split by amount screen:
- Enter the number of splits you want. The bill is divided into that many equal amounts.
- Edit any split's amount individually if someone is paying more or less than an even share.
- As you edit amounts, the remainder automatically redistributes across the remaining unpaid splits, so the splits always add up to the order total.
- Take payment on each split independently.
Splits that have already been paid are excluded from redistribution and locked, so editing the amounts of the unpaid splits never changes what an already-settled payer owes.
When to use which split
Use split by item (or split by member) when each payer should be charged for exactly what they ordered. Use split by amount when the group prefers to divide the total evenly or by an agreed share.
