I came across a pretty cool app for patrons of bars and restaurants.  In fact, this app has benefits for patrons and establishment owners alike.  It’s called TabbedOut.   The company touts it as the easiest way to open, view and pay your bar or restaurant tab using your smartphone. TabbedOut is a free app available for Android phones and iPhones, and offers customers a fun and novel way to save time when closing out their tabs. Patrons can split tabs, calculate tips, call cabs, and more via TabbedOut. We like to say that the app puts you back in control – no more waiting, no more jostling for attention in line at the bar.   Currently, patrons pay a small $.99 fee for each transaction and nation-wide a network of 150 bars and restaurants in 14 cities are using the service.

Here’s a video that shows more about it.
