In Korea (and probably other cultures) the whole group orders items together and shares. So the splitting math is a little different:
- Simplest: just divide total by N people
- Different subtotals for food, alcohol, and drinks
- The most complex is probably: food is split evenly, but individuals claim beverages. (And there are some cases where certain food items are also claimed.)
Usually one person is the "treasurer:" they pay the entire bill and make a chat room to finalize with other members (share a table of who owes what and maybe send payment requests)
Interestingly, KakaoTalk has a built-in feature to split bills in this manner. It's not intuitive to use, so a lot of people just do it manually.
This is actually very similar to our implementation. The host pays the bill then users go in and either claim an entire item or split the item between multiple people. Each person is then assigned an individual bill with quick links to pay the host!
Oh~ I missed "Shared items split cleanly" in the copy. And I didn't feel like creating a new account to check it out. Would be nice if you didn't have to sign up/login. (Maybe like how a shopping cart allows creating an account at checkout)
(And I initially thought "TabChop" would be a windows management tool: split windows...)

Hi I'm Yash, one of the developers.
Would love to hear any feedback/thoughts :)
