Teams depend on manual entries, separate spreadsheets, disconnected approvals, and delayed owner visibility.
Restaurant Split Billing and Settlement
Guest payment behavior is messy. One table may want two cards, three UPI transfers, a cash contribution, a loyalty voucher, and a printed GST receipt. Vrajera makes that simple for the cashier and clean for accounting.
Start here
Vrajera split settlement divides bills by guest, item, equal share, seat, or custom amount while accepting multiple payment methods on one invoice.
It preserves the settlement trail so cashiers can move fast and managers can reconcile payments accurately after the shift.

Feature overview
A checkout workflow for real guest payment behavior.
Groups rarely pay in one clean transaction. Split settlement lets cashiers divide a bill by guests, items, seats, equal shares, or custom amounts while keeping the final payment trail clean for accounting.
Equal split
Divide the total bill across guest count instantly. Show each share, tax allocation, rounding adjustment, and payment status.
Item-wise split
Assign specific items to guests or seats so groups can pay for what they ordered without manual calculator work.
Mixed payment collection
Record cash, UPI, card, wallet, voucher, loyalty redemption, and partial payment legs against the same invoice.
Shift close reporting
Settlement totals roll into cashier closeout with method-wise values, cash variance, discount exceptions, and unpaid balance alerts.
