المعنى
To ask how a group wants to pay the bill.
خلفية ثقافية
Paying separately is the default for friends and colleagues. It is not considered rude or cheap; it is considered practical. Similar to Germany, but in traditional Viennese coffee houses, the 'Ober' (waiter) might be slightly more formal and expect a clear signal early on. Precision is key. Splitting the bill is very common, and with high prices, people are very careful about who had what. In the US, 'separate checks' is often requested *before* ordering. in Germany, you decide at the *end*.
Be Ready to List
If you say 'getrennt', the waiter will look at you and wait. You must list what you ate and drank immediately.
Tipping when 'Getrennt'
Each person should tip individually. Rounding up to the next Euro is the minimum; 5-10% is generous.
