After sitting down at a restaurant, AppTab allows you to select the table you are at, and then it gives you a menu that you can order from on your mobile phone. Orders made from the phone are automatically charged to your credit card. This allows you to avoid several hassles that are common when eating out. For example, having to wait for inattentive staff in order to place orders, having to do a credit card/cash handoff when you are finished, and having to split bills with large groups of people.
