Split Bill – Divide the Check

Split the bill between multiple guests. Vendion supports three split modes, and each sub-bill gets its own checkout with a separate control code from the fiscal control box – just like a regular order.

The three split modes:

Quick split – pay selected items now

1. Open Splitta → Snabbdela (split → quick split).
2. Select what this guest is paying for. Selected items appear under Betalas nu (paying now).
3. Check the amount and select Ta betalt (take payment).
4. Pay the selected part. The rest stays on the original tab.

Use Dela lika (split evenly) when the whole party wants equal shares.

Split evenly – step by step

1. Click Split in the quick buttons
2. Choose the Split evenly tab
3. Enter number of guests (2–20)
4. Vendion auto-calculates the per-person total including VAT
5. Select Dela nota (split tab) to create the sub-bills.
6. Open a sub-bill in the POS and take payment when the guest is ready.

Example: Total 1,260 SEK, 4 guests → 315 SEK each. Split evenly works well for large parties and works great for bar tabs.

Split by item

1. Click Split → Split by item
2. A list of all items appears on the left, empty sub-bills ("Guest 1", "Guest 2", …) on the right
3. Tap an item to move it to the right guest (no drag-and-drop)
4. Per-guest totals update in real time
5. An item can only belong to one guest at a time – move it back if misplaced

Split a single item

Inside Split by item, a single item can be proportionally shared between multiple guests:

1. Select Dela (split) beside the item.
2. Enter the number of shares in Dela artikel (split item) and confirm.
3. Vendion creates a fraction: 1/3 × 450 SEK = 150 SEK per guest
4. Each guest gets their share on their sub-bill

Example: Bottle of wine 480 SEK split between 4 → 120 SEK per guest as drinks (25% VAT).

Payment per sub-bill

Each sub-bill is a separate transaction in the system:

• Its own receipt number
• Its own control code from the fiscal control box
• Its own row in journal memory
• Its own VAT breakdown using the items’ applicable rates

Guest A can pay by card, Guest B with gift card + card (split tender), Guest C with loyalty points + cash. All payment methods work on sub-bills exactly like on regular tabs.

Split bill + loyalty and gift cards

• Loyalty points: Check that the correct guest is linked to the sub-bill on which points will be redeemed. Points are not auto-split between guests.
• Gift cards: Can be used on any sub-bill – split tender (e.g. 200 SEK gift card + remainder on card) is allowed.
• Tips: Added per sub-bill during checkout, not on the original parent bill. Tip flows with the sub-bill where it's added.

Important

• After the first sub-bill is paid, you cannot re-shuffle the split – the system locks sub-bills to guarantee every receipt has correct underlying data
• Check all sub-bills before voiding one. Do not assume that voiding moves its items back to the parent bill
• Each sub-bill appears in Order history as its own order – searchable by receipt number
• Tip distribution between staff is handled in the Staff module, not in the split view

Field tips

• For big parties, state the mode upfront – quick split is usually fastest
• Apply preset discounts before splitting (discounts carry over in split evenly)
• Use Guest linking so each sub-bill can be tied to the correct CRM profile for loyalty points
• For business dinners where one person pays everything → just use a regular tab and skip split
