F(e)uture
New features of existing services that I would love to implement.
Have you ever gone out for dinner with your friends, and when the moment to pay comes, the restaurant accepts only one credit card, making it impossible to split the receipt on the spot?
The Backstory
The Problem
When these situations occur, one person pays the whole bill, takes a photo of the receipt, and then sends it to the friends. Most will pay for their dishes through Venmo but often forget their share of tips and taxes. Calculating these shares is a massive headache!
The Solution
Venmo QuickSplit automates this activity by using a picture of the receipt to generate a list of items and their price and automatically calculating each member's share of tips and taxes.
The user takes a picture of the receipt through Venmo's built-in scanning feature. QuickSplit automatically converts it into a list with the item name and associated cost.
The user then shares the bill among their friends by simply selecting them directly on Venmo. The user can either assign each item to their friends or, more conveniently, let them do it themselves.
Once all the items are split among friends, QuickSplit automatically calculates the share of tips and taxes and creates a quick payment option for each friend.
