はい、かしこまりました。おひとりさまずつ、おかいけいをいたしますね。
Yes, certainly. I will process the payment for each person individually. (Alternative reply if not possible: "We apologize, but at our establishment, we only process payments as a single bill.")
Gesture & etiquette
Raise a hand to get attention, then make a slight bowing gesture.
Some establishments, especially during busy hours or for specific courses, may not allow separate payments. Ask politely.
