Take a photo of the bill and let AI detect every item, subtotal, tip, and taxes. Share the session and each person picks their dishes from their phone in real time. Anything left over is split automatically, and everyone pays only for what they consumed: fair balances, no arguments.
Why does splitting the restaurant bill always end in a fight?
The problem is rarely the total: it's the details. Someone ordered a starter and dessert, another just water, and the tip and taxes get split 'equally' even though people didn't consume the same.
Doing the math by hand at the table is slow and error-prone. That's why it's better to itemize by dish and prorate tip and taxes based on what each person ordered.
How to split the restaurant bill with Parti, step by step?

- 1Open Parti and take a photo of the receipt: AI detects every item, the subtotal, the tip, and the taxes.
- 2Share the session with your group to activate Live Split.
- 3Each person picks their dishes from their own phone, in real time.
- 4Anything no one claims is split automatically across the group.
- 5Parti calculates fair per-pair balances, with tip and taxes already prorated by dish.
