# Socialite Bill Splitting Apps The Cake Technologies Ltd. Cake Platform is Sourced by Foodies By Jordy E | Published 2015-06-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-technologies-ltd References: [thecakeapp](http://www.thecakeapp.com/) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cake/id836656044?mt=8) The Cake Technologies Ltd. Cake app provides a curated approach to payment. While classic bill payment systems put the onus on customers to pick and choose vendors, this system instead sources surrounding venues by way of a talented team of self-proclaimed foodies and socialites. Much like the social elements present in Cake are its communal billing options. Users of the platform can have friends join in on tabs. Once on the pages, each member can select different menu items that they will be paying for, giving way to a simple splitting tool. Adding to the exclusivity of Cake are its partners. Currently, the service is tied to London-based restaurants and members-only clubs and bars, though this list is expanding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Curated Payment Systems:** Developing curated payment systems that source surrounding venues based on expert recommendations can create a unique and personalized user experience. - **Communal Billing Options:** Integrating communal billing options into payment platforms can simplify group bill splitting and enhance user convenience. - **Exclusivity Partnerships:** Forming partnerships with exclusive restaurants, members-only clubs, and bars can help payment platforms attract a niche and upscale user base. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fintech:** The fintech industry can leverage curated payment systems to offer innovative and user-centric payment solutions. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can adopt communal billing options to streamline the process of splitting bills for group customers, enhancing their overall dining experience. - **Lifestyle Memberships:** Lifestyle membership businesses, such as members-only clubs and bars, can collaborate with payment platforms to provide exclusive offerings and seamless payment experiences for their members. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bill Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitit.md) - [Group Payment Simplifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bilito.md) - [Efficient Bill-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplysplit.md) - [Integrated Bill Splitting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-features.md) - [Shared Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paymates.md) - [Group Dining Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitevote.md) - [Group Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-split.md) - [Event Cost-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-app.md) - [Effortless Group Payment Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabbit.md)
