How to Split Active Orders and Bills
Divide ordered items into split bills or payment groups so guests can pay separately.
1 min readUpdated 0
Split active orders and bills when guests want to pay separately. You divide ordered items into multiple split bills or payment groups, using the drag-and-drop interface described for this flow.
When splitting helps
- Friends at one table each want their own check.
- A company pays for part of the bill and guests pay the rest.
- You need separate payment groups without creating brand-new orders from scratch.
How to split
- Open the active order from Orders and review Order Summary so every item is correct.
- Start the split-bills action available on the order management screen for your role.
- Drag items into separate split bills or payment groups until each guest share looks right.
- Confirm the split, then check out each group with Checkout or Quick Checkout as needed - Processing Checkout and Payments.
No split-bill dialog screenshot is included in this rewrite. Follow the on-screen drag-and-drop labels in your restaurant and do not invent control names.
What happens next
Each split group can take its own payment method and receipt. If you only needed extra seats under one bill, use How to Merge More Tables instead of splitting.
