Split the bill
Everyone pays for what they had. To the penny.
Splitting evenly feels simple until the person who had a salad pays for someone else’s steak and wine. Outzu makes the fair split as quick as the even one.
How Outzu works it out
- Your items. Everything you tap is yours.
- Shared items. A dish tapped by three people is split three ways. You can set portions too — say you had two of the five dumplings.
- Service, tip and discounts. These are shared in proportion to what each person ordered. Order more, pay a bigger share of the service; skip the wine, pay no service on it.
- The pennies. £10 between three people doesn’t divide exactly. Outzu hands out the odd pennies fairly so the shares always add up to the exact total on the receipt — never a penny more or less.
A worked example
Four friends, £90.00 of food, 12.5% service (£11.25), £101.25 in total. Ali paid.
| Who | Food | Service | Share | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sara | £22.50 | £2.81 | £25.31 | Owes Ali £25.31 |
| Ali (paid) | £31.50 | £3.94 | £35.44 | Gets £65.81 back |
| Priya | £18.00 | £2.25 | £20.25 | Owes Ali £20.25 |
| Tom | £18.00 | £2.25 | £20.25 | Owes Ali £20.25 |
The four shares add up to £101.25 exactly. Sara, Priya and Tom each get one payment to make, with Ali’s details and a reference.
Paying back
Outzu never holds your money. You pay your friend directly — UK bank transfer, IBAN, or the payment app they prefer — and tap “I’ve paid”. They tap “Received”, and when everyone has, the bill is settled. Got cash? There’s a button for that too.
