How to Split Restaurant Bills by Items?

Splitting a restaurant bill by items ensures everyone pays for exactly what they ordered. Here's how to handle different scenarios:

  • Individual Orders: Each person pays for their own food and drinks

  • Shared Dishes: Split the cost equally among those who shared

  • Appetizers & Desserts: Divide among all if everyone agreed to share

  • Drinks & Beverages: Keep track of individual drink orders separately
