Project poster

Ordering a drink in a busy bar is stressful, time-­‐consuming and claustrophobic. With Fastab, users order drinks from their mobile phones and receive push notifications when their orders are ready. This eliminates the need to wait in line and compete for the bartender’s attention. Because payments and tips are sent through Fastab, bartenders can spend more time making drinks and serving customers, and less time processing payments. After surveying 75 customers who frequent bars, 47% of them felt that their favorite bars were inadequately staffed. Fastab’s improved efficiency alleviates this pain point without the need for additional staffing.  While Fastab is designed for bar environments, there are several other applications for the technology including restaurants, nightclubs and sports arenas.
