Forty percent of customers prefer to split checks when dining with friends. * Some guests pay their own way by alerting the waiter before ordering, while other parties load a group bill onto one card and pay back the cardholder after the meal. For those in groups tasked with itemizing a group’s guest check, the process is time consuming and tedious and there are always items that fall through the cracks. The experience is stressful and defeats the purpose of getting together for a fun and relaxing meal.
From family gatherings to get-togethers with friends, both diners and staff are familiar with the infamous “check war.” It is the battle of wills between family and friends insisting “dinner is on them” or they’ve “got it covered.” It is the race to grab the check as soon as the server arrives with the little black book at the table. Typically, the result is a compromise that results in portioning and separating the final check amount. Whether the debate at the table is tiresome or amusing, at the very least, it is guaranteed to happen at least once on any shift.
There is relief to these scenarios with Aldelo Express’ new physical split check feature for all order types. Servers can accommodate large groups with ease, splitting checks into two, ten, or any number of physical checks from any in-house or mobile printer. Servers effortlessly adjust checks by number of guests or payments, helping guests relax and keep the good times rolling.

Provide customers more options with the new Aldelo Express split physical check feature
How it Works:
Wait staff access the split check feature from any Aldelo Express POS device. Servers conveniently access, recall, adjust, and re-adjust checks before printing physical receipts, dividing a party’s bill by seat or by the check amount in seconds. Simply quickly open a check and hit “Split” before making edits across seats, tables, or groups and printing new checks from a countertop printer or all-in-one mobile handheld device.
The new Aldelo Express feature allows for easy workflows, increased table turn rates, and ease of payments for all order types, including tableside, curbside, and delivery. It allows wait staff to quickly recall and re-adjust customer checks through available filters including recent checks, order type, date, completion status, or server.
The physical split check feature pairs perfectly with Aldelo Express’ multi-seat ordering and ticket module, enabling servers to keep track of split checks by assigning them to a particular seat. An assigned seating module provides each guest a seat with a unique ticket, enabling wait staff to easily move, edit, and split checks back and forth between guests without losing track of their orders.

Enable parties of all sizes to pay their own way in traditional and mobile environments
Allow servers to move and manage items across multiple tickets digitally without restarting an order. Enhance customer experiences and alleviate stress for wait staff by reducing the number of interruptions to confirm order names, items, and payments for each guest. Let customers in groups “cover” a meal, pay for multiple people on one card, and share the cost of a meal.
Combined with an integrated mobile handheld POS device, servers save time and energy as they move between tables to manage guest checks, rather than going back and forth to a stationary terminal and printer. Servers can orchestrate tickets for large groups indoor, outdoor, or remotely at event settings, saving time and streamlining communication between customers and wait staff.
Restaurants can enhance customer experiences and meet guest demands with easy manipulation of checks on-the-fly and drastically increase table turn rates for small or large parties.
Aldelo Express’ new Split Check Feature benefits restaurants, bars, food trucks, cafes, and other food service operations.
