Open & close a bar tab with just your phone.
In a world where people are increasingly using their phones to pay for things, the bar industry has been left behind. There’s still no universal way for bargoers to start a tab using digital means (e.g. Google/Apple Pay); a physical card is still needed.
We’re changing that.
✦ Why leave a card at the bar? ✦
-
The bar industry has been left behind
Not all bars have modern POS systems. Many still use old cash registers coupled with a simple swipe terminal. While some bars can accept tap-to-pay, it’s often inconvenient, and patrons have to close out after each round.
-
Bars are leaving money on the table.
Bartenders are handling customer’s phones or simply not allowing digital wallet usage.
-
Bar patrons are inconvenienced.
Drinkers must carry a physical card, rely on a friend to cover them, or worse; leave thirsty.
A simple solution.
We are building a digital payment processing tool for bars, consisting of three main components:
✦ The merchant portal
✦ An interface for the patrons
✦ Our network connecting them all to the global payment network
Using cutting edge, event driven architecture and cross-platform development tools, ChecksOn.Me will soon be available for all.

“Where others have capitalized on proprietary hardware and expensive subscriptions, we’re creating a system that everyone can tap into”
— Kali, CEO of ChecksOn.Me
We’re building an agnostic system that integrates with any POS system (e.g. Toast, Clover), national payment networks, and offering our own direct network. It also works with no POS system. Our mission is to achieve this at no significant cost increase for bars or customers, recognizing the critical importance of margins in the hospitality industry.
