Abstract
Methods and apparatus for splitting an electronically-generated check among several people. A group of people may order goods or services using a customer device associated with each customer. The orders are sent to a point-of-sale server which creates a combined accounting of the orders of a group of people. When the group is ready to check out, they may apportion items from the combined accounting to simulated checks displayed on each of the customer devices. Then, each person may pay their bill individually.
