How to ask for the bill and split payment

To ask for the bill and split the payment at a restaurant or cafe, you can use polite and clear phrases. Here are some common ways to do so:

Asking for the Bill

• “Could we have the bill, please?”
• “Can we get the check, please?”
• “May I have the bill, please?”

Requesting to Split the Payment

• “Could we split the bill, please?”
• “Can we pay separately?”
• “We would like to split the payment.”

Combining Both

• “Could we have the bill, and can we split it, please?”
• “May I have the check? We’d like to pay separately.”

Using polite language such as “please” and “thank you” makes the request courteous and clear. If you want to specify how to split (e.g., equally or by item), you can add:

• “Can we split the bill equally?”
• “We’ll pay for our own items separately.”

These phrases typically work well in English-speaking countries. If needed, I can provide translations or more formal/informal versions.
