Split the restaurant bill without the argument.
The check arrives, two people had wine, one had a salad, and dividing by six punishes the wrong person. Photograph it and everyone gets a number they can see the reasoning for.

How it works
One bill. Everyone’s share.
02
Give each item an owner
Assign each item to the people who shared it. Split a shared dish across just those diners; distribute tax, tip and service fees proportionally.
03
Send everyone their share
Share an itemized breakdown through WhatsApp, Messages or another app. Friends can read it without installing SPLIIT Pro. Pay each other using your usual method.

The table nobody wants to split
Six people, shared starters, two bottles of wine
This is where an even split does the most damage. Four of the six drank, one ordered a salad, and the starters were shared by everyone. Here is the same check with each line assigned.
The check
- Wine, 2 bottles (4 of 6)$68.00
- Shared starters (all six)$36.00
- Ribeye (Tom)$38.00
- Sea bass (Priya)$29.00
- Risotto (Jo)$22.00
- Burger (Max)$21.00
- Pasta (Lin)$19.00
- Salad (Sam)$16.00
- Tax and tip$64.74
Total$313.74
What each person owes
- Tom $76.86 Ribeye, wine, and a sixth of the starters.
- Priya $65.52 Sea bass and wine.
- Jo $56.70 Risotto and wine.
- Max $55.44 Burger and wine.
- Lin $31.50 Pasta, no wine.
- Sam $27.72 Salad, no wine. An even split would have charged him $52.29.
Dividing by six gives everyone $52.29, which would have Sam paying $24.57 towards wine he did not drink. Tax and tip follow each order. The six shares add back to $313.74.
The awkward cases
Bills that do not divide evenly
One table, two drinkers
Bottles shared by half the table are the single biggest source of an unfair even split.
Shared starters and sides
Assign one line to several people and it divides between exactly them, not the whole table.
One card at the end
When the restaurant will not split the payment, one person pays and everyone else gets a number.
Someone is being treated
Leave a person off the lines that were a gift and the rest still reconciles to the printed total.
At the table
What people ask with the check in hand
How do you split a restaurant bill when one person did not drink?
Put the drinks on the people who had them instead of dividing the total. On a bill with two shared bottles, that is usually the difference between a fair number and a non-drinker quietly paying a quarter of the wine.
How do you handle a starter that everybody shared?
Assign the one line to everyone who ate it and it divides between exactly those people. A plate shared by three of six costs those three a third each, rather than being spread across the whole table.
Can I split the tip separately from the food?
The tip spreads in proportion to what each person ordered, which is the usual expectation when one order is twice another. If your table prefers a flat amount per head, enter it as its own line assigned to everyone.
Does everyone at the table need the app to see their share?
No. One person photographs the check and sends the breakdown to the group chat. Everyone else reads an ordinary message showing their items and their total. Nothing to install while the table waits.
What if the restaurant already split the bill onto two cards?
In 1.3.1, choose the payer or enter each person’s contribution when several people paid.
