Advanced Bill Splitting
For large groups or complex payment scenarios, VeriFactu offers flexible splitting options.
Split by Seat
When taking the order, assign each item to a specific seat number:
1. Tap the "Seats" button when adding items
2. Select the seat number (1-12)
3. Items are tagged with the seat number
At payment time:
1. Tap "Split by Seat"
2. Select which seats are paying together
3. Process payment for those seats
4. Repeat for remaining seats
Example: Table of 6, seats 1-3 want to pay together, seats 4-6 separately.
Split by Item (Go Dutch)
For groups where everyone pays for their own items:
1. On the Payment View, tap "Split Bill"
2. Select "By Item"
3. Check the items for the first person
4. Tap "Create Split"
5. Process payment for those items
6. Repeat for each person
The system automatically tracks which items have been paid and which remain.
Equal Split
For groups splitting the total evenly:
1. Tap "Split Bill" > "Equal Split"
2. Enter the number of ways to split (e.g., 4)
3. The system divides the total by 4
4. Process each payment individually
Example: €100 bill split 4 ways = €25 per person
Partial Payments
Allow customers to pay in installments:
1. On Payment View, enter a partial amount (e.g., €50 on a €100 bill)
2. Process the payment
3. The remaining balance (€50) stays on the table
4. Process the second payment when ready
This is useful for:
- Groups paying in rounds
- Customers adding items after initial payment
- Split payments across different methods (€50 cash, €50 card)
Complex Scenarios
Shared Items
For items like shared appetizers or bottles of wine:
1. Assign the item to "Seat 0" (shared)
2. When splitting, the system divides shared items equally among all paying guests
Rounding
When splits result in odd amounts (e.g., €33.33), the system rounds to the nearest cent and adjusts the final payment to ensure the total matches exactly.
Tips on Split Bills
When splitting, you can:
- Add a tip to each split
- Apply different tip percentages per person
- Add a single tip to the final payment only
The receipt shows the tip amount and who added it for transparency.
Reopening Paid Bills
If a customer returns after paying to add more items:
1. Find the closed order in History
2. Tap "Reopen"
3. Add the new items
4. Process the additional payment
The system links both payments to the same table session for reporting purposes.
