Why this phrase

Textbook vs Real, Kōfuku x Hana, friends at the table, not a waiter scene. Kōfuku reaches for the waiter to ask for separate checks. Hana stops him and says 割り勘にしよう. 割り勘 means one person pays the shop, then the friends divide the total by how many people came. It is not a line for the staff. 別々でお願いします is already in the catalog and is the waiter line many shops will not do.
