Split a bill
What it's for
Splitting lets one bill be paid in several parts — useful when guests share the cost or pay by different methods (one card, two UPI). DashDinner keeps the total honest: the parts must add up to the full bill before you can close it.
Where to find it
Splitting is part of the settle flow in the POS. Start settling the bill as usual, then choose the split option instead of a single payment method.

Splitting a single item
If two guests share one dish billed as a quantity of two, use the Split control on that line in the order panel to divide the quantity before you settle.
Worked example
A ₹2,400 table splits three ways: one card, two UPI. Finalise and lock the bill, choose Split, and add three rows — Card ₹800, UPI ₹800, UPI ₹800. The rows total ₹2,400, so DashDinner lets you settle, recording each payment separately.
Tips & things to watch
- ✅ The parts must equal the total. DashDinner blocks a split that's short or over, so your takings always reconcile.
- ✅ Mix methods freely — cash, card, and UPI can all appear in one split.
- ⚠️ Splitting an item vs. splitting the bill are different: the line-level Split divides one dish; the payment-step Split divides the whole bill.
