I reckon someone at Quins has bought the sales pitch from the
app maker that goes along these lines:
"With our app, you won't need to spend money on training your
staff, or even employing better quality in the first place; the
app does all the thinking."
Unfortunately, I doubt that will be the case. I can't imagine
it's like Argos or Macdonald's, where your order is processed
the entire way through, and is thus ready very shortly after you
get to the front. It seems like the bar staff will only pour
your drink when you hand over the prepaid receipt. So the issues
of the wrong beers being poured and left, and the wait for beer
to be poured when you get to the front of the bar queue, will
still be there.
It seems a bit like a gimmick to me. It doesn't take long for
bar staff to accept contactless payments. Literally the only
part of the process this removes is their asking what your order
is, and you replying. Is that really the main bottleneck in the
process?!

I read it differently. I read it as: we're going to pre-pour a
hell of a load of drinks and you can pick up your still/warmed
up beer nice and quickly. Oh, you want it to taste nice too?
Heh, fancy that.

Yeah I'm among the many annoying people who keep rejecting
pre-poured beers to try to get something less disgusting.

My point is that this app doesn't change that. Nor is it
necessary for that to happen. In fact it already happens.
This app simply allows you to hand someone your order on a bit
of paper instead of talking to them.
I feel it would be different if the beer was poured after I
placed my order, then I collected it.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I doubt this will have any positive
effect.

Nobody. The 2 new machines in the Kings Bar were broken 20mins
before the match, (with 4 Quins staff stood around guarding
them) just when i thought they might be a present a solution to
the usual ridiculous queuing situation.
And to my previous post, when I bought my 2nd pint at half time
the barman couldn't work out how to deduct the pound for me
returning a cup and seemed to be hoping I would just say 'oh
don't worry about it'. Absolute shower as usual.
