Diners visiting restaurants in Mallorca will no longer be able to split the bill because it is "complicated for staff".
Juanmi Ferrer, president of the Restaurants Association on the Spanish island, said there will now be a "one bill per table" rule put in place.
Splitting the cost of the bill is common practice among restaurant goers, who choose to pay for what they ordered individually rather than divide the total amount.
But Ferrer says it is a "time-consuming" task for staff.
"There is one bill per table and it is up to the customers how they deal with the payment", Ferrer told Majorca Daily Bulletin.
"Some don't want to pay for the wine, others specifically ask to pay for their own dish.
"This gets complicated for the staff, and there can be items that no one is charged for.
"It is time-consuming and even more so if the bill doesn't add up."

Ferrer pointed out splitting bills adds to the heavy workload of staff which is already a problem due to low numbers.
It comes after anti-tourism protesters took to the streets of several Spanish tourist destinations in their thousands last month, demanding British holidaymakers "go home" in widespread action against overtourism.
Demonstrations were held in Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza, leaving tourists visibly stunned as locals banged drums and chanted slogans.
Activists claim more than 30,000 people took to the streets in Mallorca alone.

Similar demonstrations occurred across major Spanish destinations, including Barcelona, Menorca, San Sebastian, Granada, Tenerife and Malaga, as well as in hotspots outside the country, including Venice and Lisbon.
The coordinated action, organised by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification, focused on alerting the public to the social and environmental costs of mass tourism.
Protesters carried placards reading "Mallorca is not for sale", "Mallorca is not your cash cow, go home" and "Your vacations, our anxiety".
Photos also showed water-gun-wielding locals participating in the march, planning to spray passing holidaymakers.
