TAB'd — Buy Someone a Drink. Meet IRL.
A social matchmaking app that connects people at bars through the simple act of buying a drink.
How It Works
- Check in at a venue via QR code
- Browse who's there — swipe through profiles (Tinder-style cards)
- Send a drink — pick a person, choose from the venue's menu, confirm
- Anonymous delivery — the bar prepares it with a drink number
- Match — when they pick it up, you're connected
- Chat — start a conversation with your match
