Split the bill¶
One order, several people paying. Split it evenly between a number of people, or let each person pay for their own items.
Where: Sell → Pay, then the split icon beside the amount.
Between a number of people¶
Tap the split icon. It opens on People, set to two, and the amount is already one share. Tap + until the number is right, then take each payment with Card or Cash as you always do.
After each payment the count drops by one and the amount fills in again for the next person. The last person pays exactly what is left, so odd cents never go missing.
A table of three at Little Kite owes $70:
| Who | You see | You do |
|---|---|---|
| First person | 3 still to pay, $23.33 each | Tap Card |
| Second person | 2 still to pay, $23.34 each | Tap Card |
| Third person | Last to pay, $23.33 | Tap Card |
When someone pays a different amount¶
Type the amount before you tap Card or Cash. What is left is shared between the people still to pay.
Same table, but the first person says "put in $25 from me". Type 25, tap Cash, then Put $25.00 on the bill. The screen now shows 2 still to pay, $22.50 each.
| They pay | What happens |
|---|---|
| Less than their share | That amount is taken. The rest is shared by those left. |
| Card, more than their share | It all goes on the bill. Those left share a smaller amount. |
| Cash, more than their share | The till asks which you mean. See below. |
Cash above the share could be two things, so the till asks:
- Put $25.00 on the bill when they are putting in more. Those left share a smaller amount.
- Give $1.70 change when they have handed over a bigger note and want their share taken from it.
If the count is wrong¶
Each payment counts as one person. If one person pays part in cash and part by card, that counts as two, so tap + to put one back. If someone leaves and another person covers them, tap −. The share follows the count.
By item¶
Tap the split icon, then Items. Tick boxes appear on the order. Tick what this person is paying for and the amount becomes the total of those lines. Take the payment, then tick the next person's items.
Paid lines stay on the order, dimmed, with a tick. A receipt for one of these payments lists only that person's items.
Splitting by item is not available when the order has a $ discount on the whole order, a loyalty reward, or only one line. Splitting between people still works on all of those.
Good to know¶
- Tap the split icon again to stop splitting. Nothing already paid is changed.
- You can swap between People and Items part way through a bill.
- The people count is kept on this till, for this order. Open the order later, or on another till, and you set the number still to pay again. The amount owing is always right; only the count is forgotten.
- A receipt for a share shows the whole order, that payment, and the balance still to pay.
