For a larger party at Laut, plan on one shared check rather than individual bills: the restaurant usually takes payment from one person, and Borough Hoppers’ hosts calculate each attendee’s reimbursement from the subtotal, tax and tip.
The hosts say Laut usually requires one person to pay for a larger party. The host normally pays first, then attendees reimburse that person promptly by Venmo, Zelle, PayPal or cash.
The stated calculation is 1.3 times each person’s subtotal for food and drinks, covering tax and a 20% tip. By the hosts’ example, a $30 subtotal comes to $39. If a credit-card fee is charged, they say the multiplier may rise to about 1.34–1.36. The host says the amount collected is not a markup and that they make no money from it.

The required $20 deposit is described as the no-show fee. It can be applied to food and drink, and any unused amount will be refunded; it is not a fixed meal price. The hosts also welcome direct Venmo or Zelle payment to avoid the PayPal fee through Meetup.

The listing uses Meetup’s RSVP option and does not provide a separate ticket or restaurant-reservation link. RSVP only if you expect to attend, and update your response promptly if plans change. The hosts say they will send a reminder 24 hours ahead; two no-shows or cancellations within six hours of the event result in a four-month ban.
