It even allows you to pay and split the check among the guests. No more hassle with the server or restaurant on separate checks!<\/p>\n<p>This easy customization is at the heart of the STACKED concept. They\u00a0offer America\u2019s favorite foods (Burgers, Pizza, Salads and Mac \u2018n\u2019 Cheese among others).
