Yes, please put this everywhere. At least one bar in all bars.

I'm so tired of waiting to get the attention of the bar tender. It's not the fault of the bar tender. In so many places they are horribly understaffed.

There's a bar in Santa Cruz that gives you an RFID bracelet hooked up to your CC, and you pour however much you want from >30 taps on the wall. Then you pay your per-ounce tab upon exit. Only beer and wine but a cool idea. Here's a link: http://www.pourtaproom.com/santa-cruz/

A local brewery (Accomplice Beer Company) just opened that does something identical, just with an RFID card that you plop on a stand above the tap rather than a bracelet. Wouldn't surprise me to learn they're using the same hardware.

Waiting is so 2016!

Actually, in Europe we have table service at a lot of bars, it beats any of this hands down, while being engaged in a good conversation the beer and anything else you like is delivered to your table. It doesn't get much better than that IMO.

That's fairly common in the US as well, especially if it's somewhere quieter like a pub or a brewery, vs somewhere with a big crowd and music.
