I thought I would write about a recent interview I conducted on Mobile-Financial regarding an innovative and convenient new mobile payment service being launched.  First, because it’s fresh in my mind, and second, because I think it is a really interesting new service and one I know I personally will use.

ATX Innovations has launched a service called ‘Tabbed Out’ which allows patrons of bars and restaurants to review and close out bar and restaurant bills via their mobile phone. It is both a convenient and safer way to pay your bill.  After your meal and/or a few rounds of drinks when you are ready to leave, or “tab out” you simply access the application, review your bill to ensure it is correct, select your tip amount and then pay the tab.  A receipt can be emailed to you if you would like.

The customer’s credit or debit card information is stored directly with the POS so you do not have to hand it over to the waitperson.  It’s a great concept and one I know both hospitality establishments and customers will both equally enjoy. It is also great to see a new mobile payment service launched in the U.S.   

For more information about the “Tabbed Out” service please reference the interview or their website.
