Night out

Dinner, a few rounds, the ride home. The plans change; the shared costs stay together.

Keep the night’s shared expenses in one group as people pay. Split dinner with the table and the ride with the friends who took it. Each person can see their share without piecing together the group chat the next morning.

How to do it

  1. Tables on a café’s wooden terrace among potted plants

    Create the night’s group, drop the link in the group chat

    Everyone joins in the app with a name, no account.

  2. A restaurant check beside cash at the end of a meal

    Everyone logs what they pay

    Rounds, entry, the cab. Equal by default.

  3. Someone writes by hand in a notebook on a table

    Choose who shares each expense

    The friends at dinner share the meal; those in the taxi share the ride. Choose the people involved before confirming the split.

  4. Hands holding a phone and browsing its screen

    Pay back your way

    Pay back in cash, by bank transfer or with your payment app, then record the repayment in Spliz.

A night out for 5

  • Rounds $90 paid by Yanis, entry $50 paid by Chloe, cab $30 paid by Nour. Total $170, $34 each.
  • Balances: Yanis +$56, Chloe +$16, Nour -$4, Adam -$34, Sofia -$34.
  • Each person pays back what they owe outside the app, then records the repayment in Spliz.

The group can see what each person owes and record repayments as they happen.

Common questions

Is the draw gambling?

No, it's a way to split the cost: instead of dividing, one randomly picked person takes it all. Nobody stakes anything, everyone has the same odds, and the group can verify the result.

Can we settle the same night?

Yes, if everyone pays back on the spot, in cash or with a payment app. Then record the repayment in Spliz; the app itself does not transfer money.

What if someone already went home?

They see their share in the app and pay back later with the method you agree on, then the repayment is recorded. Nothing has to happen at the table.

The night together. The costs in one place.
