The servers and bartenders serving/pouring the drinks are the primary focus of TABC licensing. Actually, TABC doesn't care about the payment aspect only the ordering.

We are working on other social networking initiatives too. We want to make the system extremely valuable by reducing the need to "check in", "tweet", and "update my status." We can automatically do that if the user has selected that option.<br><br>Regarding premierinterns post: thank you for the kind words. The tough thing about allowing you to pay through the system is the TABC. They have very strict guidelines for the entire process. If someone is overserved by a bartender or waitress and not checked before they leave, there is an inherent host liability associated with the transaction. The liability is much greater to us if we participate in that transaction. <br><br>Plus you wouldn't get a nice smile and thank you from a human being at the end. :) SpeedMenu just announced that we are integrated with Twitter.

I can't recall the amount of time I've had to wait long periods of time to get another drink. I think they should go one step further and allow you to pay in the system. That way the customer doesn't have to wait for the bill, pay for it then wait for the receipt again. Just a thought. Anyhow, congrats and I wish them the best of luck. I'm sure they're going to be successful. Sounds like a product that is going to be widely used by consumers.
