HOW TO EASILY SPLIT BILL AT DINER?

HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED CHAOS EXPLODING @ A RESTAURANT TABLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE SPLIT AMONG A BUNCH OF BUDGET CONSIOUS OFFICE COLLEAGUES OR CASH CRUNCHED COLLEGE BUDDIES?  SOME PEOPLE @ THE TABLE ATE ONLY VEG FOOD AND DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE NON VEG DISHES.

SOME PEOPLE @ THE TABLE WERE TEETOTALLERS , WHILE OTHERS GUZZLED DOWN DRINKS LIKE THEY WERE WATER.THE HOW TO BILL FAIRLY?


THERE IS AN GOOD IOS APPLICATION CALL BILLR THAT MAKE S SPLITTING THE BILL @ RESTAURANT OR BAR AMOG EVERYONE @ TE TABLE EASY , FAIR AD QUICK .


The inputs that Billr asks you for are pretty simple. You tell it how many people ate something, what percentage you want to tip and what the sales tax rate is. Then each person enters the costs of the food they ate and Billr spits out a straightforward answer for how much each person should put down.

Let’s Get Splitting

For this review, I tried Billr out after a meal I had with a few of my friends. I waited to use Billr until the end of a meal with a relatively complicated bill. In this case, there were five people, everyone had a cocktail and main course, and we shared a few appetizers and desserts.
There are no unnecessary steps when you open the app. It starts off by asking you to input the number of people in your party.

To begin, you enter the number of people at the table using a simple up and down arrow input. The maximum number of diners that Billr supports is 16, and each person you add shows up as another avatar on your screen.
From here, Billr takes you to the item entry screen. Each person at the table gets a separate column where the price of each item they ordered (or shared) is entered. It is important here to enter only the items that each person ate or drank by themselves. You enter shared items in the following step.
A column appears for each person in your party. After you have entered each item for one person, you just tap the next column.

I found that it was easiest to pass the phone around the table and have each person take the responsibility for their own items. It may sound like a time-consuming extra step, but as long as everyone in your party is even vaguely familiar with a touchscreen phone, the entry process is intuitive enough that you won’t really need to explain to each person how to use Billr.
Once the phone makes it back to you, it’s a good idea to do enter the shared items by yourself. A separate column appears where you put the prices of anything that more than one person consumed, which for use was a couple appetizers and a dessert. Next, you work your way across the columns for each person and put a check for each shared item which they ate or drank.
The process of setting the tax and tip is very easy, and the results are easy to read. The columns can't be renamed, so you'll need to remember who is who.

The final step involves setting the tax and tip. As you change the tax and tip (which move in increments of 0.25% and 1.0%, respectively), the totals at the top of your screen update. Here you’ll see the subtotal, tax, tip and the total with and without the tip. From there, you’re ready to go. Each diner has a customized check that gives the cost of their food, what they owe for tax, for tip and in total.
Sharing the results is simple. The app will email or text an image of the final screen that shows what each person owed.

If someone wants a record of how the bill got divided, you can share the results either by text or email, which simply means sending a picture of the final screen.
