Split, move or merge a bill

A bill follows its table until it is paid. When customers pay separately, change tables or join another party, or the waiter goes home, change the bill instead of starting a new one: nothing is served or taken from stock twice.

Split the bill into equal shares

On the till:

1. Open the bill

   On the Table plan, tap the table.

2. Tap Split, and say how many guests

   Kila explains: “KES 1,200.00 in equal shares. Each guest pays their share their own way; it is one order.” Set How many guests with + and −; Kila shows about how much each pays.

3. Tap Take 3 payments

   Kila opens Pay Terrace 2 (Bill 83) in 3 shares with each guest’s share, Guest 1, Guest 2 and Guest 3. Take each share the way that guest pays.

Split by seat

On Kila Floor, when each item was sent with its seat, open the bill and tap Split by seat. Kila asks: “Each seat’s items become a bill of their own. Items without a seat stay here.” Tap Split: Kila says, for example, Split into 4 bills, one per seat, and each seat’s bill shows on the floor, such as Table 10 · seat 2 (Bill 76).

Move some items to another bill

On the till, open the bill, tap … and choose Move items (split by item): “Split by item, or move guests to another table. Nothing is served or taken from stock again.” Tap + on each item that moves, choose A free table, Another open bill or A new bill, and tap the button, such as Move KES 300.00.

Move, join or give the whole bill

On Kila Floor, open the bill:

• Move table: the customers moved. Choose a free table. Kila says Moved to Terrace 1, and a bill named after its table takes the new table’s name.
• Merge bills: two tables join. Choose the bill to join: “Every item moves onto that bill; this one closes.”
• Give to a waiter: “It stays at its table; the other person takes it on. Both names go in the log.” Kila says, for example, Terrace 1 (Bill 79) is now Kevin Ouma’s.

What if

Split by seat says the bill has one seat

Kila shows:

Not split

Give the items seats first: there is only one seat on this bill.

The items were sent without seats. Split it into equal shares on the till, or move each guest’s items to a bill of their own.

The buttons are missing on a bill

On another waiter’s bill, Kila Floor has no Move table, Merge bills, Split by seat or Give to a waiter.

Needs a manager

The waiter whose bill it is gives it to you, or a floor supervisor gives it to you from the same bill.
