Question 1

How do you split a group delivery order fairly?

Accepted Answer

Add each item with its price and select who shared it, or use the fast mode to enter each person's food total. Delivery fees, service fees, tax, tip, and promo discounts are then divided in proportion to what each person ordered, so someone who ordered less pays less. Enter who placed the order to see the exact reimbursements everyone owes.

Question 2

Should delivery and service fees be split equally?

Accepted Answer

Splitting fees equally is simple, but it asks the person with the smallest order to subsidize everyone else. Proportional splitting gives each person the same percentage of fees as their share of the food, which most groups find fairer. You can choose either method here and see both totals before deciding.

Question 3

How do you split a promo code discount?

Accepted Answer

A promo code lowers the whole order, so the fairest approach is to spread it the same way you spread the fees. With proportional splitting, everyone gets the same percentage off their food subtotal. With equal splitting, the discount is divided evenly. Either way, every person's total adds up exactly to the discounted order total.

Question 4

Who should pay the driver tip?

Accepted Answer

The tip is part of the order cost, so everyone who shares the food should share the tip. Add it as a percentage of the food subtotal or as a flat dollar amount, and it is divided the same way as the fees. Whoever placed the order pays the driver, and the settle-up card shows what everyone else owes them.

Question 5

Can I send the split to the group chat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tap Copy summary for a text breakdown you can paste into any chat, or Share link for a link that reopens the exact order with every item, fee, and payment. The link holds all the entries itself — nothing is stored on a server and no account is needed, so save it somewhere safe.
