Overview

This article explains how to split a bill by seat in Platter POS. This feature allows you to divide a table’s total bill based on individual guest orders, making it easier to process separate payments for each person.

Prerequisites

• Seat-based ordering must be used while taking the order
  ​

• Staff access to Platter POS
  ​

• Active table with items added

Steps

1. Go to the Tables screen and open the required table
   ​

   

2. Ensure items were added using Seat mode
   ​

   • Each seat should have its own items assigned
     ​

3. Tap Checkout
   ​

   

4. Click on Split Bill
   ​

   

5. Select Split by Seat
   ​

   

6. The system will automatically:
   ​

   • Divide the bill based on items assigned to each seat
     ​

   • Generate separate amounts for each guest
     ​

7. Review each seat’s bill
   ​

   

8. Proceed with payment:
   ​

   • You can take payment for each seat individually
     ​

   • Complete transactions one by one
     ​

     

Important Notes:

• If items were added to the table (shared section) instead of seats:
  ​

  • Those items will be evenly distributed across all seats
    ​

• If staff didn’t use seat mode properly:
  ​

  • The split will not reflect actual guest orders
    ​

• Seat-based split only works correctly if:
  ​

  • Orders were assigned properly during order taking

Troubleshooting

• Split looks incorrect:
  ​

  • Check if items were assigned to seats or added to the shared table
    ​

• All seats show equal amounts:
  ​

  • Likely, all items were added to the table instead of individual seats
    ​

• Missing items under a seat:

  • Items may have been added without selecting a seat

• Unable to split properly:
  ​

  • Recheck the order structure before proceeding to billing
