Tabbedout, the application that enables guests to review and pay restaurant or bar tabs using a smartphone, is now certified on Dinerware Inc., a developer of hospitality POS software. The certification means more restaurant and bar locations across the country can now offer a mobile payment option.

Tabbedout, available for free on both iPhone and Android smartphones, enables Dinerware merchants to improve staff efficiencies, eliminate credit card handling issues and enhance overall customer experience. With Tabbedout, the customer shows their server a code from the Tabbedout mobile application to start a tab without the need for a physical credit card.

Unlike other mobile payment solutions, Tabbedout allows users to store credit card information directly on their phone, under passphrase protection, instead of on host servers. Consumers can open, view and pay their tab at their own pace and share their social experiences with friends via Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, all within the application.

“The Dinerware open platform allows us to provide innovative add-on solutions like Tabbedout’s mobile payment solution,” said Jeff Riley, Dinerware CEO. “As part of our mission, the team at Dinerware strives to provide our customers with complete control of their Dinerware POS platform. This includes giving our customers the ability to choose the technology partners they use to support their business without limitations being placed on them by Dinerware or our products. We certify these add-on products to help ensure customers that they can expect a high quality integration that works reliably over time.”

Tabbedout also announced last week an integration, sales and marketing partnership with Micros that allows restaurant and bar merchants to deploy Tabbedout's software through their existing MICROS POS software without any additional hardware requirements.
