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 nota → Snabbdela (split tab → 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 Splitta nota (split tab) in the quick buttons
2. Choose the Dela lika (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 Splitta nota → Splitta per artikel (split by item)
2. All items appear on the left under Huvudnota (main tab). On the right is Gäst 1 (guest 1) – add more guests with Lägg till gäst (add guest)
3. Select a guest and tap an item to move it there (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
6. When Kvar att tilldela (remaining to assign) is 0 SEK, press Spara & dela nota (save & split tab)

Split a single item

In Snabbdela (quick split) and Splitta per artikel (split by item), a single item can be proportionally shared between multiple guests:

1. Press Dela artikeln (split the item) on the row.
2. Under Dela på hur många? (split into how many?) choose the number of parts (2–10) and press Dela (split).
3. Each part is shown with a small circle where the part is filled in, the fraction (for example 1/3), the text Delad på 3 (shared by 3) and the part amount – a 450 SEK item split three ways gives 150 SEK per part.
4. In Splitta per artikel you assign the parts to guests, and each guest gets their share on their sub-bill. In Snabbdela one part is added to Betalas nu (paying now) and the rest stays on the tab.

The parts stay until everyone has paid. You split the item once. After the first guest has paid, the remaining parts stay on the tab as separate rows, marked with the fraction instead of a quantity. When you open Splitta nota again, the next guest just taps their part – no need to split again.

Example: A party of four shares a 995 SEK sharing dish and has one drink each. Split the dish by 4 in Snabbdela. Guest 1 gets their quarter under Betalas nu, you tap the guest's drink and take payment. For guest 2, open Splitta nota again, tap one of the three quarters (248.75 SEK) and the drink. Continue until the tab is paid.

Splitting a part further: If two guests share one part, press Dela artikeln on that part. A quarter split by two becomes two eighths (1/8).

A shared row has no plus and minus buttons on the tab, so a quarter can't accidentally become one and a quarter.

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

• Unsent items are sent to the kitchen before the tab is split. The split view says so under the heading, for example "3 artiklar är inte bongade – de skickas till köket innan notan delas." (3 items have not been sent – they go to the kitchen before the tab is split). It works like pressing Bonga (send to kitchen). If the ticket does not get through, the tab is not split and the POS shows "Notan delades inte – bongen gick inte fram. Försök igen." (the tab was not split – the ticket did not get through, try again)
• Package with an open choice: if the guest has not chosen a dish in a package, the tab cannot be split yet. The POS shows "Notan kan inte delas än" (the tab cannot be split yet) – choose the dish or decline it on the row first
• 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
• Give the discount per item before splitting – item discounts follow their rows to the sub-bills. A discount on the whole tab (Rabatt in the quick buttons) is not divided: it stays on the original tab and is not carried over to the new sub-bills, and the amounts in the split view are calculated without it. Check the amount on each sub-bill before the guests pay
• 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
