Customers can view the digital menu of the premises they're in, add items of food/drink to their cart, pay through the app and place a contact free order through their smartphone.

The order is sent to premises staff who prepare and deliver it to the consumers table or a collection point - the delivery method can be altered to suit Government regulations and ensure safe social distancing is maintained during this pandemic or a future outbreak.

Consumers spend time with the people they came with, not queuing at a bar or vying for someones attention. Bars and restaurants benefit through reduced order administration, improved efficiencies and first class contact free, pandemic and outbreak safe service.

----Additional Information ---- 

Additional Innovate UK support means we can enhance the experience we offer independent venues and their customers on pour. 

Pour now offers a delivery option without the high commissions charged by Deliveroo, a greater variety of menu options to suit every bar, pub, caf&amp;eacute;, and restaurant in the country, and printer integration so that your orders print directly into your kitchen and bar areas as required. 

Our new features make pour more than order &amp;amp; pay, we provide regular data insight packs to all customers so that everyone can make operational decisions based on the facts.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
