"Well Cathy, theres even an app to keep track of your tab when your out on the town! Isn't that something John, now off to Simon for the weather"
That said, you are obviously talented designers - the site & the app look really nice & will definitely make a great portfolio piece.
a great way to make your friends regret asking you to come hang out with them at a bar.
Actually, I think it would be a good idea to go drinking with someone who uses this app. Since they'll invariably forget X number of drinks throughout the night, you can offer to settle up the next day. "See? I only had two beers."

The use case is more for splitting tabs between large groups of people. Also cross reference what the establishment is charging you vs what you actually had, you'd be surprised how many bars and places are willing to overcharge you once you've had a bit too many.
So when I'm at a bar and I order "2 Whiskey Sours, a Budweiser, an Amstel Light, a Heineken, a Sapphire Gimlet and a Knob Creek neat," and the bartender charges $50 (or whatever), do I stand there asking how much each one was?
