PoS Insights: Smart AI Keeps Pubs Safer as the UK Winds Down Lockdown
Once the national lockdown loosens its grip, pubs and restaurants are getting back into the swing of things. But no one wants to party in a crowded bar without a little extra brain power keeping everyone safe. That’s where PoS Insights, the AI‑savvy wizard behind smarter solutions for businesses, steps in.
What’s the Drip?
On July 4th, the government gave the green light to open doors—yes, we’re talking coffee shops, dive bars, and the full range of pub food stalls. To make sure folks can still keep their distance and not break the new social‑distancing rules, PoS Insights built a “busy‑tracker” that plugs straight into an existing CCTV system.
- Count it: real‑time people tally in the bar.
- Seat it: live availability of tables.
- Wait‑time: a pep‑in‑the‑pump estimate of how long you’ll have to hold your breath before a seat opens.
All that data pops up in real time, so the Pub Keeper knows how to manage crowds, and customers can plan their “out‑and‑about” without accidentally stepping into a bubble of diners.
Why It’s a Game‑Changer
John Price, the CEO of PoS Insights, is quick to say, “We already help retailers and transport services run smoother. Hospitality was a natural next step.” His conviction? “The first half of 2020 was a hard one, and now the pubs are back. We want to prove that we can keep people safe while they still get out and socialize.”
Because this appy analytics platform loads fast and is hassle‑free, the pubs across the country can show their commitment to safety swiftly—no installation headaches. And everyone can get a quick heads‑up on how busy the nearest spot is.
Getting the Scoop
Turn on real‑time updates straight to your phone or tablet. You’ll never miss out on a fully booked night again—unless you’re too late, of course.
