BILL-SPLITTING: The Genius New Feature Papa John’s Added To Mobile Ordering

We’ve been put into many situations where we’d enjoy ordering a pizza, but didn’t want to foot an entire bill. Sure, your buddies can pay you back when they get the money, or even the next time you go dutch on a pie. More times than not, one party will definitely forget to pay the other. Papa John’s found a remedy to this: BILL SPLITTING.

The pizza chain has announced its new PayShare feature. This allows customers to split their pizza bill when ordering through online or mobile devices.

Nice.

PayShare is connected through popular money transfer app Venmo. Customers log into Papa John’s when they want to order a pizza. Then, anyone willing to chip in on the pizza will need to connect through their Venmo accounts. PayShare evenly divides the bill between the customers or you can choose however much they want each person to pay.

With the PayShare feature, Papa John’s hopes to get customers to think about enjoying pizza rather than worrying over the cost. Even though PayShare isn’t the first bill-splitting program, it is one of the first to specifically cater to fast food. Papa John’s new partnership with Venmo may be the beginning of many popular fast food services that will allow splitting the bill in-house.

Now folks don’t have to worry about their cheap friends mooching off free pizza because they “Don’t have any cash right now.”
