Problem Statement

Have you ever felt impatient when paying bills after having meals with several friends in the restaurant? 

Paying bills as a group can be a very annoying and inefficient process, especially when the group size is large and paying by cash is a must.

"Uh..dude? I don't have cash on me right now. Do you mind covering for me?"

"Hey, let me pay for you too. I owe you from that dinner last week" - "Really? uh..sure. Thanks!"

"I am running short on cash? Do you mind paying me the money you owe me from last month's rent?" - "I thought I already paid you last week" - "You did? uh...well.."

These conversations are often are awkward and are due to an underlying problem of keeping track of group expenses, debts and repayments. 

Problem Statement:

Users involved in group expenses need to record expenses with details, calculate individual debts, share it with others, track outstanding debts and repayments, and be able to subtlety send reminders without coming on as being rude.People expect a efficient way that allows only one member in the group to pay the bill first and he/she can be easily reimbursed from other members afterwards.
