Have you ever gone out to eat with Czech friends and, when the bill arrives, the familiar question pops up: “Jak to zaplatíme?” (How are we going to pay?). In the Czech Republic, going out with friends or colleagues isn’t just about enjoying good food or great beer — it’s also a social tradition. And an essential part of that experience is… sharing the bill. Paying together and sorting it out later? That can be inconvenient.
Why is “split by item” so important in the Czech Republic?
In many group gatherings, awkward situations often occur:
- Office lunch: Petr only had a Kofola and a soup, while Jana ordered a full lunch menu. Sharing the bill 50/50 isn’t fair!
- Evening at the pub: The group shares 5–6 appetizers, but everyone orders their own beer. Who should pay for what?
- Personalized payment requests: One wants to pay their part by card, another wants to pay only their own items in cash. What should the waiter do?
All these situations create unnecessary pressure at checkout, delay service, and affect the customer’s dining experience.
The Golden Solution: Ultimate bill-sharing flexibility with GOKASA Gastro
GOKASA Gastro turns complicated bill-splitting tasks into a simple, fast action on the POS system.
Split the bill “By item”
No more mental math or writing notes. Staff simply:
Tap: Select dishes and drinks ordered by Customer A (e.g., 1× Pivo 12°, 1× Guláš).
Split: Move those items into a separate transaction.
Pay: Customer A pays immediately by card or cash.
Continue: Remaining items stay on the original bill for customers B, C… to pay separately.
