Made for South African tables
Split the bill without the long story.
Snap the till slip. Everyone taps what they had. Each person pays their own share from their own phone.
Your group tabs
Keep one running tab for a crew — every bill rolls up and Bill Buddy shows who still owes what.
From photo to paid

What it does at the table
Scan the till slip
One photo. Bill Buddy reads the items, prices, VAT and service charge off Spur, Ocean Basket or any South African slip.
Everyone joins by QR
Show the code, they're in. No sign-ups, no app store, no chasing people for their email address.
Tap only what you had
Sharing a bottle of wine or a platter? Tap it together and it splits itself between you.
VAT, service and tip sorted
Pick a tip once and every person's share of the tip, service and VAT is worked out in proportion to what they ordered.
Pay from your own phone
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nobody fronts the whole bill and nobody gets paid back in dribs and drabs.
Keep the slip and the tab
The original photo stays with the bill for disputes, and a group tab carries balances over to your next outing.
Put Bill Buddy on your home screen
There's nothing to download from a store. Add Bill Buddy to your home screen and it opens full screen with its own icon, like any other app.
iPhone
In Safari, tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”.
Android
In Chrome, tap “Add to home screen” when it offers.
Nobody needs an account to join a bill
