How to split a restaurant bill without doing rough math.

When a table mixes shared starters, individual dishes, tip, and payment discounts, an even split makes someone overpay. Splitea turns the receipt into a clear per-person breakdown.

What changes when a restaurant bill is split properly

The point is not just cutting the total. It is reflecting who consumed what, how shared plates were handled, and how much each person should actually pay.

1

Scan the receipt

Splitea takes the restaurant bill and turns it into lines you can actually assign.

2

Assign dishes and shared items

Each person is linked to what they ordered, while shared items are split only among the people involved.

3

Get a clear settlement

The app shows per-person subtotals, proportional tip, and the transfers needed without rebuilding the ticket by hand.

Why it works better for restaurants

These are the moments when splitting evenly stops working and when Splitea adds more context than a calculator.

Different dishes, different totals

If one person had a starter and another had a main plus dessert, the bill should not be forced into a flat split.

Shared starters or bottles

Group items can be shared only between the people who actually participated instead of being pushed to the whole table.

Tip and discounts with logic

If there was a payment-method discount or added tip, Splitea keeps the split aligned with real consumption.

Screens from the restaurant flow

These screens show the moment when the bill moves from being a ticket to becoming a concrete split per person.

Common questions about splitting a restaurant bill

Typical questions when the table is mixed and no one wants to rebuild the whole receipt in a notes app or calculator.

Does it work if some items were shared and others were not?

Yes. That is one of the main advantages. You can keep individual dishes tied to one person and split only the shared items among the relevant people.

What happens with tip?

Splitea distributes it proportionally to each person's subtotal so the final settlement stays aligned with the real bill.

What if one person paid for the whole table?

The app makes it clear who fronted the money and what transfers are still needed to settle the bill.

Is it useful for larger groups?

Yes, especially when the receipt has many lines, shared items, or very different totals between participants.

Scan, assign, and make the bill clear.

Splitea is built for real receipts, real groups, and amounts that still need to be paid back.
