We are traveling with 8 people and are wondering if you can each pay individually when using mobile ordering? Would each do their own mobile order or do we pay when we pick up the food and pay for our own at that time? Just not sure how this works. Thanks in advance!

I think you’d have to each pay individually but not 100% sure. What I do with friends when we go out to places sometimes where we’d split the bill evenly is I pay so I can get the credit card points and have my friends pay me back via Venmo. I think Venmo or a similar type of app would be easier. Also reserve your lunch time early as some places fill up quick. We started ordering lunch at 10 am or so just to reserve a good time later in the day.

Problem with ordering individually is you might not all get the same pickup window. Unless you are okay with eating an hour apart, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to figure out how to use venmo.

That's what I was thinking, and yes, we know how to use venmo, just a bit of a hassle to decide what everyone owes and all that. That's why I was asking how to make this work. I guess I was hopeful that we could order individually but under same name or something. Oh well, we will figure it out.

The very first thing you do when mobile ordering is pick your time, so if all of you get together first thing in the morning, you should be able to get the same time. Ordering lunch right after breakfast might not be ideal, but it would allow each family to order and pay separately. If you’re going at a busy time, you’ll want to mobile order early anyway to get the time you want, whether placing one order for all or separate orders.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the specifics, this will work, cause we will know what we want to order, we can order early, seperately.
 
One thing I'll point out is
whether its 1, 4 or 8 orders for your group, it will be harder to find seating for 8 persons together. That is where I see the group having to split up, just to sit down.

Good point, I'd heard that, and we have two senior adults with us, so that's why I made more ADR's than I usually make. But we will have a few counter service meals, maybe if we eat at odd times, we can find a table. Thanks for the heads up!
