意思
Requesting the bill.
文化背景
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. Usually, people round up the bill or leave about 5-10% if the service was excellent. When you 'afrekenen', you can just tell the waiter the total amount you want to pay including the tip. The 'Tikkie' culture is huge. If one person pays the whole bill after saying 'Zullen we afrekenen?', it is expected that they will send a WhatsApp payment link to the others within 24 hours. Dutch directness means that if you want the bill, you have to ask for it. Waiters will not 'disturb' you by bringing the bill unprompted, as they want you to feel welcome to stay as long as you like. In Dutch-speaking Belgium, the culture is slightly more formal. You might hear 'Mag ik de rekening?' more often than the slightly more casual 'Zullen we afrekenen?'.
The Eye Contact Rule
In the NL, catch the waiter's eye and make a 'writing in the air' gesture while saying this phrase for maximum efficiency.
Tikkie Etiquette
If you say 'Zullen we afrekenen?' and pay for the group, send the Tikkie immediately so people don't forget.
