One of the biggest social challenges when dining with friends or colleagues is how to split the bill. Do questions like "Who ordered what?", "Did you have coffee?", "How will we split the service charge?" sound familiar?
What's the Problem?
Splitting the bill in a traditional restaurant experience is truly a cumbersome process:
- Hard to remember what everyone ordered
- Calculating shared items is complex
- Waiter has to process separate bills one by one
- Cash and card mixed payments create issues
- Tip calculation adds extra confusion
The Alman Hesabı Solution
The Alman Hesabı platform intelligently solves the bill splitting problem:
1. Everyone Sees Their Own Order
The system automatically tracks what each person at the table ordered. Everyone only sees and can pay for their own orders.
2. Shared Items
When an appetizer or pizza is shared, you can indicate this in the system. The item cost is automatically split equally among the sharers.
3. Flexible Payment Options
- Everyone can pay with their own card
- One person can pay for everyone and collect money later
- Some can pay cash, others by card
A Real-Life Scenario
Let's say 5 friends went to dinner:
- Ali: Steak + Water = 350 TL
- Ayşe: Salad + Fruit juice = 180 TL
- Mehmet: Fish + Beer = 280 TL
- Zeynep: Pasta + Water = 150 TL
- Can: Burger + Coke = 200 TL
They also ordered 300 TL worth of appetizers together.
Traditional method: The bill arrived, everyone tried to remember what they ate, 10 minutes of calculation, some said "I ate less", eventually someone paid for everything...
With Alman Hesabı: The system automatically split the appetizers among 5 people (60 TL/person). Everyone saw their order + appetizer share and paid with their card. Total time: 30 seconds.
