Android version coming soon
Bar tab app, Dash, has raised USD700,000 in funding from New York Angels, Caerus Ventures and Brooklyn Incubator. Dash allows users to enter their card details and connect with any bar’s Dash system allowing them to keep a tab. The app also features a bill splitting function and location ratings.
The app may eventually offer rewards for frequent use in certain places in a bid to boost engagement. Going live on the app store in August, Dash will initially be available in 50 New York bars and restaurants before eventually rolling out to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Austin and Miami. The company also says it will release an Android version by the end of the year.
