The Robot Pub Company, with their showcase site,
The Thirsty Bear allows customers to pour their own pints from tableside taps,
text for waiter service and use the iPads provided to order food. Customers
exchange credit cards for electronic tabs at the bar and then swipe them to
pour beer or order food. According to Phil Neale, the co-founder, revenue at
The Thirsty Bear has jumped 78% since installing the iPads.
The pub also doubles as a showcase for the Robot Pub Group and
we understand they are in talks with other pub companies, cinemas, cafes and
restaurants to licence its technology.
