Dining with friends or colleagues is enjoyable - until the bill arrives. Questions like "Who ordered what?", "How will we split the tip?" can make social situations tense. Here are modern bill splitting solutions.
Problems with Traditional Bill Splitting Methods
Traditional methods used for years have various issues:
1. The Equal Split Problem
While splitting the bill equally seems "fair," the person who only had a salad paying the same amount as the person who ordered a steak creates unfairness.
2. Manual Calculation Complexity
Trying to remember what everyone ate, adding up menu prices, and dealing with calculators is time-consuming and stressful.
3. Waiter Workload
Issuing separate bills increases waiters' workload and extends table turnover time.
"At a table of 10, splitting the bill can sometimes take 15-20 minutes. We could have served two more tables in that time."
Modern Bill Splitting Solutions
Digital Ordering Systems
Modern systems like Alman Hesabı fundamentally solve the bill splitting problem. Each customer orders from their own phone, and the system automatically tracks what everyone ordered.
How It Works
- QR code scan: Each customer scans the table QR code with their own phone
- Individual ordering: Everyone places their own order
- Automatic tracking: The system records who ordered what
- Easy payment: Everyone pays only for their own order
What About Shared Items?
There's also a solution for shared items like appetizers or pizza:
Result: The system splits the appetizers among 3 people ($16.67/person). The person who didn't share pays $0. Everyone pays for their main dish + shared appetizers.
