What would be the result if someone were to couple Groupon with FourSquare? A site like GroupTabs stands as the exact answer. In general terms, the site will let you and your friends check in for group deals at bars and restaurants.
That is, if you can manage to convince enough friends to check in at the same time to the same bar, then a special (and generous) offer would be unlocked, like two-for-one cocktails and so on.
In this way, everybody is happy. Patrons get their drinks for a negligible cost, and the owner of the venue gets an influx of people that (if everything has worked out splendidly) could resemble a true swarm of thirsty customers. It is all a matter of promoting the event with panache through the right channels, and knowing which users to alert first of all.
So far, those who sign up for the service can link their GroupTabs accounts both to their FourSquare and Twitter accounts, and RSVP to any deal that surfaces. More Location and Social services are meant to be added soon to the list, and the first GroupTabs event is taking place today in New York City.
