As someone who has noticed this at even work meetings as well as social gatherings, I encourage people to use what I call the "the phone bet".

All members of the table place their phones face down on a pile in the center of the table. First person at the table to check their phone pays the bill.

I get many free lunches this way, lol.

Exceptions can be made per a table vote - ie: checking sports scores for the table.
