Bills, splitting and settling
In venue, staff settle the bill on a Square Terminal. When a group orders ahead of a booking, each guest can pay their own share.
When you'd use it
At the end of service to settle a table, and, for booked groups, to let each guest pay their share of a pre-order.
How it behaves
In venue, a member of staff settles the bill by taking payment on the order at a Square Terminal. A single payment can be made up of more than one tender, so a guest can put part of the bill on a gift card or loyalty points and the rest on a card, and a tip can be added at checkout.
Splitting a bill between several guests happens when a group orders ahead of a booking. Each guest can be asked to pay their own share before arrival, payments can be partial while some of the group settle, and the order shows how many of the party have paid.
At table-ordering checkout a guest can settle the whole bill from their phone, and can apply one or more Square gift cards, including cards issued as loyalty rewards, against it. An order fully covered by gift cards needs no card at all.

Good to know
Splitting between diners is a pre-order feature; at the table, the bill is settled either by the guest at table-ordering checkout or by the team on the terminal.
The closed payment ties back to the guest profile, so spend is captured against the right guest.
Refunds are handled by the venue directly.
