I do! So before Flowtab I built ZingCheckout, a web Point of Sale (now used by Tesla Motors). I learned a ton about POS distribution, it was a big part of our growth strategy. However, a POS reseller really can't justify the cost in selling only Flowtab (like you could with a POS) because it was an ancillary product and couldn't yield the high upfront sales $ from bar owners.

Was the focus on mobile ordering or mobile checkout at the end of the night (or when the patron decided to leave?)

Integration with a POS would make that a better experience than everybody trying to get the bartenders attention to close out the tab.
