"Portacuenta," as also suggested in response to the previous identical query, really seems the best choice here, for three reasons: 1. As a single word it is far more economical than "libreta para las cuentas"; 2. It can serve as a translation for *either* a check presenter or a tip tray in contexts where further specification is not needed; and 3. I think "cuenta" is far more associated with the check for a meal at a restaurant than "factura."

Thank you, Gerardo. Thanks also to everyone else who responded and commented. Once again, apologies for the repeat query.
