Split by the number of guests is great for when guests are happy to split evenly. You won’t need a calculator or to be great at maths to quickly work out how much each guest needs to pay.

Merging Orders

Sometimes guests need to move tables, like when they are having a few drinks at the bar while they wait for their table. With Lightspeed you and your staff can quickly merge whole orders or individual items, so misplaced orders can easily be corrected too.
