This works if everyone has plenty of spare money, but in my poorer days I've had situations where I feel I need to go along to a group dinner or miss out on some important networking. So I've eaten frugally, staying carefully within my budget... but then if at the end everyone wants to just split the bill equally I'd be in trouble.I and four of my old school friends just had a longish dinner with drinks (beer or juices) and just split the bill five ways. It gets to be fun when people agonise over the split so much. If you end up a bit short in one dinner it’ll even out in the next ..
So, especially if you're not sure everyone present is flush with money, make sure it's not socially awkward for anybody who wants to just pay for what they ate to do so :-)
