It’s time to make sure that your EPoS system is up to the test of increased Jubilee weekend footfall.
As confirmed in Parliament, pubs, clubs and bars have been granted extended opening hours from the normal 11pm to 1am on Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th June. In celebration of HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the extension applies not only to alcohol sales, but also to the provision of regulated entertainment and late-night refreshment, but only where there is also the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises.
Extended Licences Now Granted For Pubs, Clubs And Bars
“The extension will allow revellers to mark the Jubilee and celebrate the longest-reigning monarch in the United Kingdom.” – Home Office Minister, Kit Malthouse
Set to be one of the biggest trading opportunities this summer, following all the restrictions of the past few years, customers want to enjoy the activities and entertainment they’ve missed out on.
Garden parties, street parties and busy beer gardens are certainly expected for the long weekend. As hospitality businesses gear up for significantly higher footfall over the Bank Holiday, we’ve pulled together our top two products to help you cope with the increase in demand and easily increase revenue with simple solutions.
Let Customers Self-Order From Your Bespoke App
ByTable provides your customers the option to access your menu and place orders from their own devices, without having to leave their tables. Accessible via either a QR code or downloadable app from both the Google Play and Apple App stores, it gives you a streamlined way to service busy seating areas.
Particularly great for large outdoor seating, ByTable is fully customisable, giving you the freedom to adjust your menus in real-time, track your best-sellers and even manage stock levels.
With ByTable in place, you’ll see order values skyrocket, you’ll be turning over more tables and you’ll be saving your staff unnecessary trips back and forth to the till, giving them plenty of time to offer incredible customer service.
Alongside offering customers the chance to place their own orders, our paperless hand-held ordering software, PocketTouch, allows your staff to efficiently take orders at the table, too.
Empowering your employees with a mobile at-table ordering solution means you’ll see less mistakes and your order processing will be smoother than ever. PocketTouch delivers orders direct to the kitchen and till at just the click of a button, saving your waiting staff valuable time.
Customers will love the improved experience and you’ll be turning over more tables as a result of the improved efficiency. The hand-held solution can be customised to suit your business, and integrates seamlessly with your TouchPoint tills, TouchKitchen digital displays and TouchOffice Web back office software, giving you complete control.
This year's National Pub and Bar Awards marked ICRTouch's fourth consecutive year sponsoring the event, and, as always, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with some of the biggest names in UK hospitality and celebrate the very best of the sector.
We have been taking a closer look at ICRTouch sales data - analysing April, which included Easter and a two-week school break, alongside May, which saw two bank holidays, a half-term and a heatwave.
ICRTouch is proud to announce its sponsorship of ‘The Ambassador Award’ at the 2026 BII Summer Event. As well as recognising the hard work and dedication of pubs & bars across a range of categories, the British Institute of Innkeeping is also celebrating its 45th anniversary, making this year’s event particularly memorable.
