Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about splitting vacation costs and group travel expenses
How do I handle tips when splitting restaurant bills?
Add the tip as a separate bill item and split it among everyone who participated in the meal. You can also add the tip directly to the total meal cost before splitting.
What if someone ordered something much more expensive?
You can create separate bill entries for individual meals and shared items like appetizers. This way, expensive individual orders aren't split among everyone.
How do I split shared appetizers and drinks?
Create separate bill entries for shared items and select only the people who participated. For example, if 4 out of 6 people shared appetizers, only include those 4 in that bill.
Can I use this for food delivery orders?
Absolutely! Add the food cost, delivery fees, and tip as separate items. Perfect for office lunch orders or group food delivery where one person places the order.
What about tax and service charges?
Include tax and service charges in your bill totals, or add them as separate line items. This ensures everyone pays their fair share of all restaurant costs.
