Swipestation

A new way to buy your beer at home games Swipe Station app. Be
interesting to see how good it is. Might be similar to that
used at Worcs.
Maybe we can get some screwtop sample bottles with drop off
points to save question for the loo.

Well, I've downloaded the app. I'm still unsure how this
actually speeds up serving as you have to get your beer token
and go to the bar to collect it. I'd be interested to hear what
others think of it after Saturday...

Same downloaded the app. Will try it, i think like contactless
once we’ve got used to it, it could work.

How does this work with deposits/refunds on beer cups? Will you
just need to accumulate cups over several purchases and then get
the refund later, or does the app allow you to include a return
in your order?
I assume you could make several orders and print the multiple
tickets then collect throughout the day?

Bar staff don’t have to take your order or deal with a till -
just read a piece of paper and hand you the right crappy pre
poured beer.
Can see how it would make things much faster given there are no
“bar staff” just poor sods tuning up to earn a few quid - cuts
out need for training as well.

Adrian’s point about returnable cups... I guess we exchange cups
on further beers and drop cup off at refund booths for cash.

From the offy:
"There’s no conversing with the bar staff..."
Said like that's a good thing?!
What a shame.

Nice? No doubt. Efficient? They're all absolutely useless.
I've yet to encounter anybody serving on a bar at Quins who
doesn't act like it's literally the first bar order they've ever
encountered. Even at half time they're still figuring out how
the tills work. Every. Single. Match.
Meantime some guys on the back-bar continue to pour out hundreds
of unwanted pints of Jester lager thats going flat, ignoring
what beers people are actually ordering and waiting for. Every
time!
I'm not usually too harsh on the club about other aspects of the
'product' but this is one area that badly needs improvement and
the service is night and day compared to going to a Bath or a
Tigers, where they employ staff that seem to have actually
purchased alcohol from a bar themselves prior to getting the
job....
And yes I've complained to the club loads, filled out the
surveys and emailed them etc etc. Closing the queues 10mins
before the match, cashless payments and now Swipestation are
nice innovations but ain't gonna fix that the basic issue of
untrained agency bar staff who are painfully slow and
incompetent.
Just my 2p anyway!

They are bloody terrible but I think marketing the idea that you
don't have to talk to someone serving you a drink is a bit
weird....
