Split bills together, not alone. Tired of one person doing all the math while everyone else waits? Or worse, guessing what your friend ordered and getting it wrong? SplitBite changes everything. Instead of splitting bills FOR your friends, you split WITH them. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a Table & Invite Friends Create a new table and share the join code. Friends join instantly on their own phones, NO app download required to join. 2. Scan the Receipt Together Snap a photo of the receipt. Everyone at the table sees the same items and prices in real-time. 3. Everyone Claims Their Own Items Here's the magic: each person selects exactly what they ordered. No more asking "did you get the salmon?" or texting screenshots back and forth. Everyone claims their items right from their phone. Shared an appetizer? Tap it together and split it evenly. Ordered a round of drinks for the table? Divide it in one tap. 4. Watch the Split Happen Live As people claim items, everyone sees the totals update in real-time. You know exactly what you're paying. Your friends know what they're paying. Complete transparency, zero confusion. Tax, tip, and fees? Automatically divided fairly based on what everyone ordered. 5. Everyone Gets a Receipt When you're done, everyone has a copy of the final split showing who paid what. Perfect for expense reports or just peace of mind. PLAY GAMES TO DECIDE WHO PAYS Want to make settling up more fun? Launch a game from the app - The winner's total gets split among everyone else. Play and maybe you won't have to pick up the tab!
