What is a split bill?
A split bill divides one table’s bill into equal shares, one for each guest who wants to pay.
Each share is taken on its own, by cash, Wallet or card. The table closes when the last share is paid, and your books show every payment.
How split bills work
The same four steps on every table.
Ask for the bill
The table’s bill comes together with its charges and prints. Items lock so nothing changes mid-split.
Choose how many
Tap Split bill, choose Equal and set the number of guests. Each share is the total divided equally.
Take each payment
Every guest pays their share by cash, Wallet or card. For cash, the screen shows the change to give back.
The table closes
When the last share is paid the table is free again, and every payment sits in your books.
What you can set
The choices your counter and captains see when a table asks to split.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Number of shares | Split one bill into 2 shares or more, up to 10. |
| How each share is paid | Cash with the change shown, Wallet or card. Each guest can choose differently. |
| Service charge and packaging | They are lines on the bill, so they are part of the total that gets divided. |
| Remove service charge | Before the bill is asked for, remove it with a reason such as Guest asked. Only roles you allow can do this. |
| Part paid | If one share is paid and the counter is closed, Ordrio says how many payments were taken so you carry on with the next. |
| The printed bill | The bill shows one “Payment 1 of 4” row for each share, so every guest knows what to pay. |
| Reopen a bill | Roles you allow can reopen a printed bill, until the first share is paid. |
| Who can split and take payment | Captains can print and split the bill. Taking the money needs the Take payment permission. |
| Where you split | On the Bill It desktop app at the counter and in the Ordrio app on the phone. The phone needs internet for this. |
