Recent press about TotalTab!
…..Who else in Boston is trying to improve the experience of eating out? Here’s my list…
- TotalTab. View your bill at a bar or restaurant, and pay it using your mobile phone. Self-funded so far. Founder Nick Reuter says the company will look to raise money early next year, when it has a beta version operating in a local restaurant.
Why is TotalTab a big idea? …. “Our big thing is that it’s time to put the power of checkout in the consumer’s hand,” Reuter said. “Imagine if you go to Amazon and had to wait in line. Why should you have to wait in line in a brick and mortar? The technology exists so you don’t have to wait in line anymore.”
…… And just a few months ago, two local technologists started an Uxbridge company, TotalTab, developing software to let you pay your bar or restaurant tab with a smartphone app (instead of waiting for a server). “It all started with waiting for a check at a restaurant for way too long,’’ the company says.
