Field notes
The demonstrated sequence uses a location QR code and the last four digits of the card that opened the tab to retrieve the relevant order. The sample tab at Short Circuit Arcade Bar contains Modelo, Whiskey Coke, and IPA charges totaling $22.00, followed by selectable tip percentages and a simulated payment-complete screen. The page states that each closed tab receives a digital receipt with an itemization, tip, total, and transaction ID.
