For Work lunches & office
Someone always covers the team lunch. Now they always get paid back.
Log meals, offsites, and shared office costs with exact splits so the person who put it on their card isn't chasing reimbursements for weeks.
The usual headaches
- One person covers a $300 team lunch on their personal card and waits three weeks for reimbursement
- Recurring office costs like weekly coffee orders get absorbed by whoever remembers to order rather than split fairly
- Offsite expenses span hotels, meals, transport, and supplies — tracking them across email threads is a nightmare
- Finance teams want itemized records; a Venmo transaction labeled 'lunch' doesn't cut it
How Make It Even helps
Exact splits for per-person charges
When appetizers were shared but only half the table ordered the premium option, split by exact amount. No rounding arguments, no 'just make it equal' compromises that penalize lighter eaters.
Recurring entries for regular team costs
Weekly team lunches, monthly catered all-hands, daily coffee runs — set them up once as recurring expenses and they log automatically on schedule.
CSV export for expense reports (Pro)
Export the full ledger as a CSV and hand it to finance or paste it into your expense report. Every entry shows date, amount, currency, and description.
Multi-currency for offsites abroad
When the team travels internationally, every expense locks in that day's rate at entry time. The final settlement in your home currency is accurate, not an estimate.
Settle via payment links, not awkward Slack messages
Make It Even calculates the minimum number of transfers needed and generates direct PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App links so reimbursements happen the same day.
AI receipt scanning for quick entry (Pro)
Photograph the restaurant receipt and Make It Even reads the total, date, and description automatically. Correct the split and you're done before the Uber home.
Get going in three steps
- 1
Create a group for your team or offsite
Name it 'Q3 Offsite' or 'Tuesday Lunches', add your colleagues, and set the working currency. Takes under two minutes.
- 2
Log expenses as they happen
Add each meal, transport cost, or supply purchase with an exact split. Use recurring entries for costs that repeat on a fixed schedule.
- 3
Settle and export
At the end of the trip or billing period, send payment links to clear balances and export the CSV for your expense report.
Questions
- Can I use Make It Even to track both a regular weekly lunch and a one-off offsite in separate groups?
- Yes. Create one group for the recurring lunch and a separate group for the offsite — each with its own ledger and settlement cycle. The free plan covers up to three active groups.
- What does the CSV export include?
- Each row contains the date, description, total amount, currency, who paid, and how the split was divided — enough detail for most corporate expense systems.
- Our team is split across the US and UK — can we handle GBP and USD together?
- Yes. Log each expense in its native currency and Make It Even converts at the rate on the day it was entered, keeping the history accurate rather than using today's rate retroactively.
- Is there a limit on how many colleagues I can add to a group?
- No. Groups have no member cap, so even a large team offsite fits in a single group.
- Can I mark an expense as already reimbursed by the company?
- You can settle individual debts manually regardless of how payment happened — mark the balance as settled when the reimbursement clears, whether through Make It Even's payment links or another method.
