When you go out to eat with a group, how do you handle splitting the bill?

B Natural answer

When I eat out with a group, I usually use a bill-splitting app because it saves time. One person pays first, and then we can send money back later. If the receipt is long, we sometimes round the total up and let the extra money cover the tip or a small difference. I think that is practical, especially when everyone ordered different things. If somebody does not have cash, we still keep it easy: one person pays first, and we settle everything after the meal.
