Mobile payments app for restaurant goers seeks to cut wait time and feed the hungry

Full Society launches IndieGoGo campaign to finalize app development designed to allow users to donate when paying for a restaurant bill.

Full Society has launched an IndieGoGo campaign to fund the final stages of development for its mobile payments app. The Full Society platform's selling point is the ability to pay your bill on your phone. The app eliminates the anxiety of waiting for your bill at a crowded restaurant or bar, the company said.

Full Society says the app will empower restaurant goers to donate to charities fighting hunger while dining out, all within a single mobile payment platform.

"Even though hunger is such a well-known issue, most people only consider donating to charities around the holiday season," co-founder and CEO Paige Cantlin said in a statement. "The Full Society app will give users the opportunity to give in small increments year-round each time they enjoy the privilege of dining out."

Full Society believes their app will not only make paying restaurant bills fast and easy, but will also take significant steps towards solving America's hunger epidemic. Currently about 46 million Americans struggle with hunger, of which 12 million are children. When the Full Society app is launched and for the remainder of 2015, all donations will go directly to two partnering charities: Helping Up Mission and Paul's Place.
