# Literal Splitting Bills The Go Dutch Bill is a Billing System that Makes Splitting the Check Easy By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-09-25 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-dutch-bill References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/09/24/budget-billing/) For some reason, restaurants often have trouble splitting a bill between people, but the Go Dutch Bill system makes that task all the simpler. Each order is tracked separately and the bill comes all together, but with perforated edges between each person. Split the bill however you like by literally splitting the bill across the perforated lines as you see fit. The bills come complete with little symbols for different types of food or drink, and a money clip-like portion where you can place your chosen method of payment. Its about time that someone rethought how food at restaurants is paid for. The current system didn't seem that bad until I saw this one. Now I feel that things could probably be improved -- let's start with the introduction of the Go Dutch Bill system. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Splitting Bills:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop a mobile app that allows users to split bills easily and conveniently. - **Perforated Bill:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a billing system that uses perforated edges to separate individual orders on a single bill. - **Redesigning Payment Systems:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Redesign the current restaurant payment system to make it more user-friendly and efficient. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce innovative billing systems and payment solutions to enhance the dining experience for customers. - **Mobile App Development Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create mobile apps that simplify bill splitting and streamline the payment process for users. - **Retail Technology Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop advanced payment technologies and systems that can be implemented in restaurants and improve the overall payment experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Efficient Bill-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplysplit.md) - [Bill Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitit.md) - [Group Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-split.md) - [Bill-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitparty.md) - [Integrated Bill Splitting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-features.md) - [Expense Splitting Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitr.md) - [Fair Expense Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heypenny.md) - [Simplified Expense Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easysplit.md) - [Event Cost-Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-app.md)
