TabWise aims to help you split the bill - even faster and simpler than ever before! What we offer that's different from competitors is an end-to-end solution requiring no maths, no user accounts, and promising instant and free payments via card. Interested? Read on to find out more...
Imagine you're at a restaurant with a large group of people. One ordered a Carbonara and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Another ordered a Flat Iron Steak and a Malbec. Someone else ordered a basket of Chicken Wings and split it with three other people. You shared a bottle of Prosecco with two other people. The list goes on...
How do you split it!?
Here are your options:
A. Just split it equally amongst yourselves.
B. Manually calculate everything and add it into SplitWise or some expenses sharing app.
A is not always going to be fair, and B is tedious.
Enter TabWise, an end-to-end solution to this age-old problem!
With 3 easy steps you can get on with your life and do more important things!
One person, let's say you, has paid the bill. Simply navigate to our website, and scan the receipt using your phone. No cropping needed, no messing about - just scan it!
| Click "start a tab" | Scan it! | Analysing receipt... |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
We'll create a room with your digitised receipt and give you a simple, readable and sayable code (shortcode). Say it out loud so your friends can join the room!
| Digitised Receipt, room code is poetic-tail | Select the receipt items you were involved in |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Now, everyone selects the receipt items that they were involved in. Once we verify that everything tallies, everyone gets a unique, customised link to pay you exactly what they owe you!
| Summary and payment link generated | Pre-filled with restaurant and payer name | Simple, free credit card payment |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
We are not currently actively developing this, but here are some of our ideas to take this idea further.
- Enable more granular splitting (e.g. a bottle of wine being split into 1/3 and 2/3 instead of half-half)
- Integrate with SplitWise
- Integrate with and support other banks
- Allow for persistent accounts (while continuing to support users who don't have accounts)
- Universal payment service that is not dependent on individual banks
