The line is where bars lose sales: people give up, skip the next round, or leave. RoundPing gives them a way to order that doesn't involve waiting in the crowd.
When the next round is a tap away, people order it instead of deciding whether the line is worth it.
No shouting orders over the noise, no running cards, no lost tabs. Orders arrive paid and in sequence.
Guests choose a tip at checkout, and it goes to your staff.
When the bar gets slammed, pause mobile ordering with one tap and turn it back on when you're ready.
