We’ve all been there — you’re at a restaurant with a group of friends, and for some reason the waitstaff is taking forever to find. When you find your server, you ask for the check, and that takes another 10 to 15 minutes. Once you finally get the bill, then you have to split it so many different ways, and then there’s all those credit cards that the waiter has to run through the computer. But now there’s an app that takes care of all of that for you. It’s called TabbedOut. Simply download the app, then see how much time it will save you.

”TabbedOut is a free app that lets you open, view and pay your bar and restaurant tabs with your phone,according to the TabbedOut website. “It eliminates the need to flag down a waitstaff, wait in a line at the end of the night or go back to a venue to find a card you left behind. You can also use TabbedOut to split a check among your friends, letting the app do all the math for you and eliminating the hassle for your waitstaff dealing with a mountain of credit cards.

We were curious about how such an app could exist, but after seeing a simple explanation, it doesn’t seem so complicated. ”TabbedOut integrates with most hospitality point-of-sale systems and is seamless for the venue and the waitstaff serving you,” says the website. The process is simple. Tell your server that you would like to pay using TabbedOut and order as you normally would. After you open your tab, the server will see a button matching your name on their point of sale system. They will then connect your tab directly to your phone, so you can see your order as it is entered into the system. When you are ready to leave, you simply consult your open tab to review your bill, set your preferred tip amount, hit “pay tab” and leave. It is that easy!

Just think about how much time you’re going to save once you start using TabbedOut.

Shohei Ohtani all but gone, MLB franchise LA Angels may also lose Mike Trout: Report
Our GM hopes they both move to Chavez Ravine to play for The Dodgers
Shohei Otani playing baseball

The Los Angeles Angels may be on their way to a major team overhaul. Shohei Ohtani, who is one of the best and most innovative two-way players in the history of baseball, has already made it clear that he wants to leave the team, and now, news has broken suggested that Mike Trout, the team's other major star, could also be on his way out the door. Needless to say, losing both of their major stars could have an enormous impact on what the Angels look like moving forward.
Shohei Ohtani is almost definitely leaving
At the end of this season, during which Ohtani has been riddled with injuries, the phenom will be a free agent, and those closest to the league suggest that he's likely to sign with another team. Everyone from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the New York Mets is expected to pursue him this off-season for understandable reasons, and Ohtani has previously made it clear that he's not necessarily thrilled with the way this season has gone for the Angels, who are set to miss the playoffs completely.

Ohtani has yet to formalize any sort of deal with another team, but the question seems to be more about where he'll end up than whether he'll stay with the Angels. The team did choose to hold onto him past the trade deadline, a move they say they don't regret, so it's still possible that the two sides find some way to come to an agreement. In all likelihood, though, Ohtani's time with the Angels is done, and he'll be in a new uniform when the next season starts.
