SPLIT THE BILL — UAE

The table sorts itself out.

Evenly, by item, or a custom share — on their own phones. One guest scans the table QR, the same live bill opens for everyone, and the total divides itself the way the table decides. No app, no napkin arithmetic, no one fronting the whole thing.

Three ways to split

Evenly, by item, or exactly how the table wants.

Evenly. One tap divides the bill by the size of the table. Four people, four equal shares — each guest confirms theirs, adds a tip, and pays from their own phone before the conversation moves on.

By item. Each guest claims the dishes that were actually theirs, straight off the live bill. The ribeye goes to the person who ordered the ribeye; the sparkling water stops being everyone’s problem.

Custom share. Hosting, celebrating, covering the birthday guest? Set any share you like — 60/40, one guest on zero, one guest on everything — and the rest of the bill re-balances around it.

In short

How do restaurants let guests split the bill?

Restaurants using pay at table let guests split the bill at the table itself: one guest scans the table QR, the live bill opens in every browser from the same link, and the group splits evenly, by item or by custom share. Each guest pays and tips from their own phone — no app, AED 0 diner fee.

Digital tipping

Tip the venue — and the waiter, by name.

Tipping lives inside the payment, not on a second QR code or a card-machine prompt. As each guest settles their share, they add a tip in the same gesture — for the venue, and for the waiter by name.

A named tip is recorded with the payment, so it stays on the record with the person who earned it — not dissolved into a jar, not dependent on whoever happens to cash up.

And when a UAE table pays by phone, the tip should never depend on someone carrying cash. With Tabz it never does: tipping is digital, part of the bill, and the guest still pays AED 0 in fees.

FAQ

Questions, answered

  • How do restaurants let guests split the bill?

    With pay at table: one guest scans the table QR, the live bill opens in every browser from the same link, and the table splits evenly, by item or by custom share. Each guest pays and tips from their own phone — no app, AED 0 diner fee.

  • Can you split a restaurant bill by item?

    Yes. In the by-item mode each guest claims their own dishes from the live bill and pays exactly for what they ordered. Shared plates can go onto a custom share, so nobody quietly funds someone else’s ribeye.

  • Does everyone at the table need the app?

    No app for anyone. The same link opens for the whole table — one guest scans the QR and the rest join in the browser. Nothing to download, nothing to install, and the diner fee is AED 0.

  • How do I tip a waiter without cash in the UAE?

    Tip inside the bill. When paying with Tabz, a guest adds a tip for the venue and for the waiter by name — in the browser, with the payment, no cash and no second QR code.

  • Does the waiter really get the named tip?

    A named tip is recorded with the payment against the person it was left for, so the venue can route it to the waiter who earned it — on the record, not lost in a jar.

  • What does the diner pay to use it?

    AED 0. Guests never pay to pay — no diner fee, no app, no account. The only thing a guest settles is their own share of the bill, plus whatever tip they choose to leave.
