2. Description of Service

GhostCheck is a web-based application that helps groups of diners split a restaurant bill. The Service allows a host to:

  • Create a dining session and display a QR code for guest check-in.
  • Upload or enter receipt information to identify ordered items.
  • Send guests an SMS link to claim the items they ordered.
  • View a summary of each guest’s share of the bill, including proportional tax and tip.

GhostCheck does not process payments. It is a calculation and coordination tool only. All payment arrangements between guests are the sole responsibility of the users.

3. User Responsibilities

As a host, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate session and receipt information.
  • Obtain the informed consent of guests before collecting their names and phone numbers through the check-in process.

By entering your phone number at a GhostCheck check-in, you expressly consent to receive a single transactional SMS message from GhostCheck containing a link to claim your bill items. This consent is not a condition of any purchase. Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply.

GhostCheck does not send marketing or promotional SMS messages. You will not be enrolled in any recurring messaging program.
