BBQ & Home Party Buying and Splitting Guide [Organizer Must-See]

BBQs under the blue sky or cozy home parties.
However, if multiple people go shopping separately, you'll fight a mountain of receipts at settlement time.
Here are techniques to avoid confusion like "Who bought this meat?" or "Off-setting with the veggies A bought."

1. Snap Photos of Receipts to Group Chat Immediately

Paper receipts fly away or get dirty. In BBQs, they often get trashed by accident.

Snap a photo immediately after buying. Upload it to the group album. This alone reduces trouble. Declaring "No receipt, no reimbursement" beforehand is also effective.

2. Weighted Split for Drinks

One common conflict is "Drinkers vs. Non-Drinkers".

Non-alcoholic beer can be expensive, so be flexible. A flat fee difference like "Drinkers pay +2,000 yen" is also simple.

3. Handling Remainders

Splitting down to the last yen takes time and creates loose change issues.

Round up to the nearest 100 or 500 yen, and use the surplus to buy ice cream or tip the organizer. Or simply use payment apps.

Using apps like PayPay or Venmo allows 1-yen accuracy without hassle.

4. Use Bill Splitting Apps

Apps like "OurSplit" calculate everything instantly, including advanced splits like "A paid 3000, B paid 5000" and "C didn't drink".

Don't waste time tapping a calculator. Spend that time grilling meat.
