Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan Inn, a bustling gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was struggling with a messy, inefficient paper system at their busy bar. Slips of paper with customer tabs were constantly getting misplaced during the weekend rush, leading to confusion and the occasional missed charge.
"We just needed something simple that looked the part. The Beaumont cheque spindle was perfect. It tidied up the whole bar area instantly, and the brass finish fits in with our classic decor. The staff love it – no more hunting for lost tabs!"
Michael Edwards – General Manager
Since introducing three spindles along the bar, the pub has virtually eliminated lost tabs and reports a smoother, faster payment process at the end of the night.
