Thirsty Bear Pub. A step forward in Bar Service.

The Thirsty Bear pub in South London is using tablet technology to help punters order food, drink and update their social network status without leaving their table

Table-side iPads and serve-yourself beer taps enable customers to order food and drink for self- or waiter-service. 

To start an electronic tab, punters simply leave a credit card behind the bar in order to add to their bill. Finger clicking is no longer required to grab waiters’ attention. Connected consumers can simply text staff direct via an instant messenger app to alert them that they require table service.
