NOT JUST TASTY

10/25/2025

Last week, I went out for dinner with a few friends.
The food was great, but when the bill came… total chaos 😅
Everyone had different meals, someone forgot their drink, and then came the big question — “How much tip should we leave?”

We spent more time doing math than actually enjoying dessert.

That’s when I realized: it shouldn’t be this complicated to split a bill or calculate a fair tip.
So, I built a little app that does it instantly — just enter the bill, pick your tip percentage, and it splits everything neatly for everyone.

It’s free, fast, and super handy next time you’re out with friends 🍕💳
If you’ve ever been that person stuck figuring out the math, this might save you too.
