From receipt
to resolved.
FriendsBill is designed for the actual moment after a meal — when the bill arrives, the calculator app opens, and somebody sighs. Here's what replaces that.
The host enters the bill
Pull up FriendsBill (we're mobile-first), name the bill (optional), add the date, type in everyone at the table as named slots ("Alex", "Sam", "Jo"…). Then enter the items off the receipt — name, price, quantity, and whether it was individual or shared.
Add tax and tip
One field each. We handle the rest: tax is split proportionally by what each diner ordered (so the salad-eater doesn't subsidise the steak-eater), and tip is split evenly across the table.
Share the link
One button copies the link to your clipboard. Drop it in the group chat. Guests open the link on their phone — no login, no app install — pick which slot is theirs, and start tapping items.
Watch claims come in live
As guests claim items, everyone else's screen updates in real time. Shared items show live "÷ 3" pricing that adjusts as more people join. Each guest sees their running total at the top of the screen.
Lock it
When everyone's claimed, the host hits Lock. Totals become final. Every diner now gets a transparency card — their items, their tax share, their tip share, their total — so the math is right there. No black box.
Track who paid
On your dashboard, mark each diner as paid as money rolls in. The list shows "7 of 10 paid" at a glance. Done.
