Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Pint, a traditional pub in York, was struggling with lost order dockets during their hectic Sunday lunch service, leading to delayed food and frustrated customers. They needed a simple, reliable organisational tool that wouldn't look out of place on their oak bar.
"We were constantly losing order slips on the bar top, especially when it got busy. This simple spike has completely sorted it. Everything is in one place, in order. It looks the part, too, which is a real bonus."
David Mitchell – Landlord, The King's Pint
Since introducing the spindle, order mix-ups have been virtually eliminated, and staff spend significantly less time searching for lost dockets, improving table turnover times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and place the spindle on a flat, stable surface like a countertop or bar.
- Carefully remove the protective rubber cap from the spike before use.
- Keep the cap somewhere safe to replace during cleaning or when the spindle isn't in use.
- Position it where staff can reach it easily but it is unlikely to be knocked over.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
- For an extra gleam, you can use a suitable polish for brass, following the product instructions.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the plating.
- Occasionally check the base to ensure it's free from sticky residues from any drink spills.

A: It's a simple tool for holding paper order dockets, receipts, and bills in chronological order in a busy bar, restaurant, or kitchen environment.
Q: Is the spike sharp?
A: Yes, it is sharp enough to pierce paper dockets with minimal effort. It comes with a protective rubber cap for safety when not in use.
Q: What is the base made from?
A: The entire unit is made from stainless steel for durability and stability, with a quality brass plating for the finish.
Q: How do I clean the brass finish?

Why choose a brass plated cheque spike over a standard stainless steel one? It’s about more than just looks. Think of the brass plating like a good coat of wax on a classic car; it provides an extra layer of character and protection. While the strong stainless steel core provides the durability, the brass plating on top gives it that warm, inviting glow that plain steel can't match. This is crucial for maintaining the atmosphere in a traditional pub, a cosy café, or a high-end restaurant where a clinical, modern look would feel out of place. It’s a small detail that helps blend essential equipment seamlessly into your decor, ensuring function never comes at the expense of form.
