Restaurant bill splitting

The bill should never spoil a good meal.

Splitting the bill as a group is no longer a chore: by dish, in equal shares or in a single payment. Everyone pays their share from their phone, with no calculator and no waiter redoing the bill.

Three ways
to split the bill.

Your guests pick the mode that suits them. The first guest to open the payment chooses it, and it then applies to the whole table. To understand each method in detail, read our guide (in French): comment diviser l'addition au restaurant.

01 · By dish

Everyone ticks their dishes and only pays for what they ate.

02 · Equal shares

The bill is split into as many shares as there are guests.

03 · All at once

Someone's treating: they pay for the whole table in one payment.

  2. I see my amountMy share adds up on its own, as I go.

Questions
on bill splitting.

What is bill splitting at a restaurant?

Bill splitting means dividing a table's bill between several guests, each paying their own share. With Ryvka, each guest pays their share from their phone, without going through the waiter.

How do you split the bill at a restaurant with Ryvka?

There are three modes: everyone pays for their own dishes, the bill is split into equal shares, or one person pays for the whole table in a single payment.

How can a group pay at a restaurant without a calculator?

Each guest opens the table's bill on their phone, picks their share and pays. The amount is calculated automatically, nobody has to do any maths.

How does splitting the bill into equal shares work?

The table states how many people are sharing the bill. The total is cut into identical shares and each person pays theirs.

Who decides how the bill is split?

The first guest to open the payment chooses the splitting mode (by dish, equal shares or all at once). That choice then applies to the whole table.

Do I need to install an app to pay my share?

No. Each guest pays from their phone, with no app to install and no account to create.

Does the waiter have to redo the bill?

No. The split is done from the guests' phones: the team doesn't have to separate the bill by hand.

Can guests leave a tip when splitting the bill?

Yes, a tip can be offered before payment.

Who receives the money from the payments?

Payments go through Stripe and are paid directly into the restaurant's Stripe account. Ryvka never holds these funds.
