Bill-splitting made for the table. Scan the receipt, claim what you ordered, and get paid back instantly. Pay only for what you ordered and get paid back without chasing payments for weeks. KoTab handles both, in under a minute. How it works: 1. Scan. Whoever pays the bill scans the receipt, and we pull every item, tax, and tip automatically. 2. Claim. Share with friends and let everyone claim their items in the app or browser. No download needed for guests. 3. Settle. The host covers the bill. Friends pay them back in one tap via Venmo or Cash App. The whole flow can be completed before the server even takes the check. Why KoTab? - Pay for what you ordered. Tax and tip distributed proportionally, with your share matching your meal, not the table average. - Only the host needs the app. Friends can join from the app or their browser. - Real-time claiming. Everyone claims their own items. No one person stuck doing the math. - Native Venmo and Cash App in the flow. No need to copy and paste amounts. No bank information needed. - AI receipt scanning that actually works. Accurate down to modifiers, shared plates, and discounts. - Built for the moment the check arrives. Splitwise is for expenses, Venmo Groups can't read the receipt, and other apps take days to receive your payment. KoTab is the only app built for the table. KoTab is for: - The friend who always ends up paying for the table and waiting weeks to get paid back - Group meals, bar tabs, and weekend trips - Anyone who's ever opened a calculator app at the dinner table - Anyone tired of awkward post-meal money conversations KoTab handles the math, the claiming, and the chasing.
