separate checks
Split the tab
Separate checks are individual bills for each person's order at a restaurant, rather than one combined bill for the table.
Diners request them to avoid the awkwardness of splitting costs afterward: Can we get separate checks?
Some restaurants discourage the practice for large parties.
Also called separate tabs.
