Yeah, this one is interesting to me. I go out with friends, and we split the bill every time. They’re even happy to split it differently for couples and singles. Never been an issue. Maybe it’s a regional thing??
It was an option on the POS we had. Just ask at the beginning and it gives you the option to start split. I’m pretty sure you could do it in process too but I just always asked at the beginning. I live in BC.
Ah, good point. I was referring to each pays for what was ordered. Although, I think equal splits are typically not an issue either. I do live in a pretty touristy area - no clue if that affects it somehow.
I think this largely depends on the system they’re using for billing. In Canada, most restaurant systems bill by seat anyway, so it’s easy to print multiple receipts or a combined one. A lot of systems in the US bill by table, so the waiter is the one who has to do all the math.
This hugely depends. Most places will happily split it.

Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?
