Equal split vs Itemized
Equal split
- Simple math
- Unfair with varied orders
- Penalizes non-drinkers
Itemized split
- Fairer for everyone
- SplitPay auto-calculates
- Individual settings easy
The golden rule
A simple 'Shall we split this?' before ordering prevents awkward checkout moments. Pay back whoever covered the bill as quickly as possible.
Rounding up slightly shows good form. SplitPay gives you the exact amount so you know how to round - usually up.
