How to split bills with friends (without the awkwardness)

28 May

We've all been there—the bill lands on the table, everyone suddenly gets very interested in their phones, and you start sweating about who had the extra fries, whether Jess remembered her wine, and how to actually get paid back without turning into the “money person.”

Good news: BillBob is here to help you split it, not sweat it. Here’s your ultimate, drama-free guide to group payments, with handy tips and a sprinkle of BillBob’s own cleverness.

1. The Usual Bill Splitting Struggles

Let’s face it—splitting a bill can get complicated (and awkward) fast:

The “Even Split” Debate: Someone always had just water. Someone else went wild on cocktails.
Receipt Riddles: Tiny text, mystery items, and illegible handwriting.
IOU Headaches: Keeping track of who owes what, when, and how to actually get paid.
Forgetful Friends: “I’ll pay you later!”… Sure you will.

It's enough to make anyone crave a solo dinner. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
