Split a birthday dinner (where the birthday person doesn't pay)

1 min read

The situation

12 people at a steakhouse. The birthday person shouldn't pay—but someone ordered a $65 ribeye, someone else had a salad, and three people split the seafood tower. How do you make it fair?

The solution

Scan the check with splitty. Assign items to everyone except the birthday person. Their share gets distributed proportionally among everyone else—automatically.

  1. 1 Scan the check Every line item appears. The $65 ribeye, the $15 salad, the $80 seafood tower—all of it.
  2. 2 Assign items (skip the birthday person) Tap each item and assign it to whoever ordered it. Don't assign anything to the birthday person.
  3. 3 splitty does the math The birthday person's share of the bill gets split proportionally among everyone else. Bigger orders cover more.
  4. 4 Send payment requests One tap per person. Venmo requests go out pre-filled. Done before cake arrives.

Pro tips

  • Mark shared appetizers as split among those who ate them—not the birthday person
  • Tip gets distributed proportionally too. Fair all the way through.
  • Save the group for next year's dinner. One tap to add everyone.
