Split Resy receipts
Split bills from Resy-booked restaurants
Resy gets you into hard-to-book restaurants. What it doesn't do is help you split the bill afterward. Unless you paid upfront for a ticketed experience, the itemized bill stays at the restaurant—on paper.
Resy reservation for 4 at a hot new spot. $75/person prepaid tasting menu. Two people added wine pairings at the restaurant. One person bought a cocktail. The prepaid part is easy—the extras need splitting.

Frequently asked questions
Does Resy send itemized receipts?
Typically no. Resy handles reservations and prepayments, but itemized bills come from the restaurant's POS system. You'll usually need to scan the paper receipt.
What about Resy prepaid experiences?
Resy shows what you prepaid in your confirmation email. For ticketed tasting menus or events, you can split the prepaid amount evenly and handle any extras from the restaurant receipt.
Can I split a Resy deposit?
Yes. If you paid a deposit to hold a large party reservation, note the amount and either split it upfront or deduct it from the final bill before splitting.
What's the difference between Resy and OpenTable for splitting?
Similar. Both are reservation platforms. OpenTable sometimes receives itemized receipts from restaurants; Resy typically doesn't. Either way, the paper receipt from the restaurant is your best source.
How do I handle service charges on Resy prepaid menus?
Some prepaid menus include service charge; others don't. Check your Resy confirmation. If service is included, you may not need to tip additionally (or tip less). Factor this into your split.
