About 7esaby Bill Splitting App
7esaby (حسابي) is the modern dining bill splitting app built specifically for Egypt and the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. Going out for lunch or dinner with friends, colleagues, or family in Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, or across the region frequently concludes with an uncomfortable, confusing math problem: attempting to decipher faint thermal paper restaurant receipts, manually separating who ordered which dish or beverage, and calculating how to fairly distribute the 12% service charge and 14% Value Added Tax (VAT). 7esaby solves this entire ordeal with high-accuracy computer vision artificial intelligence, fair compound proportional calculations, and instantaneous 1-tap peer-to-peer settlement via InstaPay or cash.
The Dining Challenge: Compound Restaurant Taxes in Egypt Explained
In Egyptian dining establishments, restaurant bills do not simply add taxes as a flat percentage at the end. Instead, restaurants legally apply a mandatory 12% service charge to the food and beverage subtotal. Subsequently, a 14% government Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied to the combined amount of the subtotal plus the 12% service charge. Mathematically, this creates a compound multiplier: 1.12 multiplied by 1.14 equals 1.2768, representing an effective surcharge of 27.68% on top of menu prices. When diners split a bill evenly, individuals who ordered a modest coffee or salad end up subsidizing the disproportionately higher service and tax burden incurred by diners who ordered high-ticket entrees or specialty dishes. 7esaby eliminates this unfairness by calculating each diner's individual tax and service contribution down to the exact piastre, ensuring complete financial transparency and fairness.
Multi-Page AI Receipt Camera Scanning with Computer Vision
Instead of manually keying in numbers or item names into a spreadsheet or generic calculator, 7esaby allows the table host to snap one or multiple photos of the dining receipt using their smartphone camera. Our localized optical character recognition (OCR) engine processes Arabic, English, and Franco-Arabic receipt typography, accurately extracting individual dish descriptions, item quantities, base prices, itemized discounts, service charges, VAT lines, and total balances in milliseconds. Long receipts spanning multiple thermal sheets or folded café checks are automatically stitched together seamlessly into a single itemized digital tab.
Zero App Download and Zero Account Creation for Guests
One of the biggest friction points of traditional dining expense apps is requiring every single diner at the table to download a heavy mobile application from the App Store or Google Play Store, create an account, verify a phone number with an SMS OTP code, and enter a credit card before they can participate. With 7esaby, only the host initiates the session. Table companions simply scan a dynamically generated QR code displayed on the host's phone screen or tap a shared web link. The interactive dining room opens immediately in mobile Safari, Google Chrome, or any standard mobile browser without requiring any account creation, login credentials, or app installation.
Interactive Bill Item Claiming and Shared Dish Splitting
Once inside the digital dining room, diners tap the dishes and drinks they ordered to claim them. If an appetizer, large mezze platter, pizza, pitcher of iced tea, or bottle of mineral water was shared among two or more people, diners simply tap the split button on that item. 7esaby automatically divides the cost of shared items equally among the claiming diners while maintaining proportional tax and service attribution for each participant.
1-Tap InstaPay and Cash Payment Settlement
Once all items have been claimed and verified, 7esaby instantly generates a personalized settlement summary for every diner. Diners see their exact subtotal, their fair proportional share of the 12% service fee, and their exact share of the 14% VAT. To settle, diners tap a single button to copy the host's InstaPay handle (IPA), registered mobile phone number, or payment link directly to their clipboard with the exact amount pre-filled, or choose to settle in cash. The host receives direct peer-to-peer bank transfers via Egypt's national instant payment network without 7esaby holding or taking custody of any money.
Multi-Currency Support for Regional Travel and Tourism
While engineered primarily for Egyptian Pounds (EGP), 7esaby natively supports multi-currency dining tabs for international travel and regional tourism across the Arab world and globally. Users can switch between Egyptian Pounds (EGP), United States Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), Saudi Riyals (SAR), and United Arab Emirates Dirhams (AED) with automatic decimal formatting and currency symbol display.
Privacy by Default and Ephemeral Dining Data Architecture
7esaby is built strictly around user privacy and data minimization. We do not require usernames, passwords, phone numbers, or credit card details. Receipt images captured during camera scanning are analyzed transiently in volatile system memory and are never retained, sold, or used for advertising profiles. Dining room session tokens automatically expire and purge after the dinner is settled, leaving zero permanent footprint on remote servers. Users also have access to an instant local cache clearing tool and a dedicated data deletion request portal at 7esaby.app/delete-data.
