Rooam app lets users view and pay restaurant bills on smartphone
Mobile payment service Rooam has launched an app for Android and iOS smartphones that enables users to close bills in bars and restaurants. Already functional in several Washington DC restaurants, Rooam will launch in Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami in the coming months, according CEO Junaid Shams. Unlike competitor TabbedOut, Rooam customises its merchant app to match the interface used by each business, Shams added. Rooam charges a $1 fee to use the service, regardless of the transaction's size, and is offering first-time users $5 in credit toward their first transaction.
