Everyone pays for what they actually ordered.
Scan the menu, share a link, and let each person pick their own food. When the meal ends, turn the order straight into a bill that already knows who chose what โ nothing to retype, nothing split evenly unless you want it to be.
Free to start.
Turn a restaurant order straight into a bill where each dish is already paired with the person who picked it, so the split matches what was actually ordered instead of dividing the total evenly. Add a tip before converting, or skip it. The bill then stays fully editable โ add a service charge, a later round of drinks, or fix anything, without starting over.
How it works
- 1
Scan the menu, share the link
Take a photo or scan the QR code, then share one link with the table. Everyone picks their own food on their own phone and sees their own running total as they choose.
- 2
Add a tip, or skip it
When the meal ends, youโre offered a suggested tip, which you can change or skip entirely. Itโs always your choice.
- 3
Turn the order into a bill
Turn it into a bill with one tap. It already knows who chose what, so the split matches the actual order โ then adjust and settle like any other bill.
What you get
The split matches what was ordered
Because each dish was picked by a specific person, the bill already knows who owes what โ fair by default, not an even divide.
Nothing to retype
Every dish, amount and price from the menu carries straight over into the bill. You never enter the same list twice.
A tip thatโs always your choice
A suggested amount you can change or skip, added before you convert the order and split the same way as the rest of the bill.
Fully editable afterwards
The bill works just like any other bill once created โ add a service charge, a later round of drinks, or fix a mistake.
Stop splitting the bill evenly by default
Scan the menu, let everyone order for themselves, and turn it into a bill where the split already matches what each person chose.

Where it earns its keep
The friend who only had a salad
An even split charges them for food they never touched. This way their total matches exactly what they picked.
A table where drinks vary a lot
One person orders wine all night, another sticks to water. The split reflects that automatically instead of averaging it across the table.
A group that orders in rounds
Food added later in the meal is still paired with whoever ordered it, so the final bill covers the whole meal, not just the first round.
Deciding the tip together, once
Agree on the tip at the end rather than everyone doing their own math on their share of it.
Why this beats splitting the total evenly
Fair by default
An even split is just a guess when nobody tracked who had what. Here, the fair split is already there โ no extra step needed.
No arguing at the end of the meal
Everyoneโs totals exist before the bill is created, not worked out afterwards from a napkin. Any mix-ups get sorted while they still can be.
Nothing gets lost in the switch
Every dish carries over into the bill, so it can still be corrected later without starting from scratch.
Everything stays in one place
The order, the tip, and the bill are all the same thing โ nothing to reconcile by hand afterwards.
Splitting evenly vs. splitting by what was ordered
Both are common at a restaurant table. The difference is whether the bill matches what people actually chose, or divides the total as if everyone ordered the same thing.
| Splitting evenly vs. splitting by what was ordered | โ | โ |
|---|---|---|
| Working out who owes what | Divide the total by the number of people, regardless of what anyone ordered. | Each dish is already paired with whoever picked it; the bill reflects that directly. |
| The person who ordered less | Pays the same even share as everyone else, including the most expensive dishes. | Pays for exactly what they chose, carried over from the order automatically. |
| Entering the order into a bill | Retype every dish, amount and price from the receipt or memory. | Turn the order into a bill directly โ nothing gets retyped. |
| Adding a tip | Work out everyoneโs share of the tip separately, after the rest is already split. | Add it once; it splits the same way as the rest of the bill. |
Questions
- Does this always split evenly, or can it split by item?
- Turning a menu order into a bill pairs each dish with whoever ordered it by default, so the split matches the actual order. You can still adjust the bill afterwards if you want.
- What happens to the tip when the order becomes a bill?
- Youโre offered a suggested tip before converting, which you can change or skip entirely. If added, it splits the same way as the rest of the bill.
- Do I have to re-enter the items into the bill by hand?
- No. Every dish, amount and price carries straight over from the order. You never retype the list.
- Can I still edit the bill after converting the order?
- Yes. It becomes a normal, fully editable bill โ add a service charge, a later round of drinks, or fix a mistake, just like any bill.
- What if someone ordered for the table, like a shared appetizer?
- A shared dish can be split across the people sharing it instead of charged to one person, the same way shared items work on any Split The Bill bill.
- Does the waiter need to see any of this?
- No. The waiter only ever sees the order page, listing who ordered what. The bill and the split are for your table, after the meal.
- Can I pay through the app?
- No. Split The Bill works out who owes what and keeps track of whoโs paid, but it doesnโt take payment for your meal or pay the restaurant.
- Is this accurate even for a long order across several rounds?
- Yes. Food ordered later in the meal stays paired with whoever ordered it, so the bill covers everything, not just the first round.
- What if the menu doesnโt show a currency?
- We donโt guess. If no currency is printed on the menu, the app asks you which one it is before anyone orders from it.
