Here’s a thought for idea #2 which will help you and your server (as suggested by a server). Ask for separate checks at the beginning of the meal. It will make the separating them take half the time b/c the server knows it’s coming. Even the tiniest charges will be aligned to the correct person which helps the splitting process. At my restaurant, we already have position points marked for each person of the table which means we can split according to each seat. If we know who’s sharing bills with whom at the beginning of the meal, it helps us remove y’all at the end.

not too sure about idea two, because then all of a sudden you have five assholes paying with credit card instead of one asshole paying with credit card and four assholes paying him back.
