Abstract
A location-aware, bill-splitting payment system and process are disclosed which reduces wait time for service customers, reduces work for service and waitstaff, and increases table turnover rate for a restaurant. The location-aware, bill-splitting payment system and process allows party members to quickly select and pay for their portion of the bill with their mobile devices while still sitting at the table, without having to wait for busy waitstaff to present the bill, or to manually process payment.
