Bill splitting and merging
Split a bill by guest, by item, or evenly — or merge tables into one, without leaving the record.
What it does
The bill, however the table wants it.
Splitting and merging handled at the table, on the same record as the order and the payment, so the close is quick and clean.
Split by guest
Each cover pays for what they had, in a few taps.
Split evenly
A single bill divided across the party.
Split by item
Items moved between bills for a mixed table.
Merge tables
Two tables joined into one bill for a combined party.
Part-payments
A bill settled across several cards or methods.
One record
Every split and payment stays tied to the booking.
The end of a meal is the last impression. A clean split is hospitality, not admin.
Questions
Bill splitting and merging, answered.
Can a restaurant bill be split between guests?
Yes. A bill can be split by guest, by item, or evenly across the party, and tables can be merged into one bill. In Inservo this happens at the table on the same record as the order and the payment, so the close is fast and nothing is reconciled later.
Can a table be split across several cards?
Yes. A single bill can be settled across multiple cards or payment methods.
Does splitting affect the record?
No. Every split and part-payment stays tied to the booking and the order on one record.
