Split OpenTable Receipts

Split bills from OpenTable-connected restaurants

OpenTable makes reservations easy, but splitting the bill? That's on you. Some restaurants share itemized receipts through OpenTable; others don't. Either way, someone ends up with the bill and everyone else owes "roughly their share."

Party of 6 at a nice restaurant. OpenTable sent a dining summary showing $423 total. Two people had wine pairings at $45 each. One person only had an appetizer. Figure out fair shares.

How to Split OpenTable Receipts

  1. 1 Check your OpenTable email OpenTable sends a dining summary email after your reservation. Look for "Your dining experience at [Restaurant]."
  2. 2 Find the receipt link If the restaurant shares itemized receipts through OpenTable, there'll be a "View Receipt" link in the email.
  3. 3 Import or use camera If itemized receipt is available, paste the URL. Otherwise, use splitty's camera on the paper receipt.

Questions

Does OpenTable always send itemized receipts?
Not always. It depends on whether the restaurant shares receipt data with OpenTable. Some restaurants do, others only share the total. Check your post-dining email to see what's available.
What if OpenTable only shows the total?
Use splitty's camera to scan the paper receipt instead. You'll get full itemization from the physical receipt.
Can I use OpenTable receipts for expense reports?
Yes. OpenTable dining summaries include restaurant name, date, and total—useful for expenses. If you need itemization, you may need the physical receipt.
Does this work for OpenTable Experiences?
OpenTable Experiences (ticketed events, prix fixe menus) typically show the per-person price. You can use this for even splits or add any extras manually.
What about OpenTable points?
Points appear on your dining summary but don't affect the bill amount. splitty focuses on the actual charges.
