Just had a thought - instead of bar tabs, alby hub friends and family connections. It's kind of a reverse tab since the patrons would pay up front, but then they have a lightning balance that theyre spending at the bar or can take anywhere else (until you rug them to teach them "not your node, not your sats")
What replies do you expect beyond nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm hub

Alby Hub is fantastic, but the setup process is a LOT for someone sitting at a bar. Plus it’s still invite-only.
Not if they just download alby go and you send them a nwc string. Probably the easiest onboarding i can think of, but I'm sure you don't want to be a custodian

yes! I thinks those ideas are the exciting ones. with lightning we can do much cooler stuff than just to scan some code and pay.
check in at the bar and each drink will just automatically be charged with NWC… they will not pay upfront, the bar can request a payment and has a budget…
(if your bar rugs you then you’re for sure in the wrong bar. I also expect my bar to serve me decent drinks ;) )
Open Tabs :)
