The Table Signals app is the first of its kind app designed to help both the customer as well as bar and restaurant owners. For restaurant patrons, we do this by turning your smartphone into a display to let servers and bartenders know exactly what you want. You can also alert your server when you require help or are prepared to place an order by pressing a single button on your smartphone and placing it on your table so it can be seen by the server.
