Keeping Pool Tables in Top Condition for the Euros

With a first win for England safely under our belts, UK pubs are set to become the go-to spots for fans to gather, watch the games, and enjoy a few games of pool. However, with the unpredictable British summer keeping patrons indoors rather than in the beer garden, it’s crucial for pub operators to ensure their pool tables and other equipment are in prime condition. Here are some essential tips to keep your pool tables ready for the crowds and maximize your revenues.

The pool table cloth, or baize, is the most vital part of a pool table's playing surface. It’s essential to use high-quality cloths to ensure the best playing experience and durability. E-Service offers a massive stock of hundreds of types of top-quality Hainsworth pool table cloths. Known for their superior quality and durability, Hainsworth cloths are a favourite among professional players and pub operators alike.

To add a unique touch to your pub’s pool tables, consider opting for custom designs and branding on the cloth. Whether it’s your pub’s logo, colours, or a special theme, E-Service can create bespoke designs that will make your pool tables stand out and add to the overall ambiance of your pub. Custom branding not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a marketing tool, reinforcing your pub’s identity.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your pool tables in top condition. This includes brushing the cloth to remove chalk dust and debris, checking for any tears or wear, and ensuring the table is level. A well-maintained table provides a better playing experience, encouraging patrons to play more games and stay longer in your establishment.

With the growing trend towards cashless transactions, upgrading your pool tables with the e-Payhub cashless payment system can streamline operations and enhance customer convenience. This system allows players to pay for their games using contactless cards or mobile payment methods, reducing the hassle of handling cash and speeding up the payment process. By adopting cashless payments, you can attract more players and increase your revenue.

Leverage the excitement of the Euros by hosting pool tournaments in your pub. This can draw in larger crowds and create a lively atmosphere. Offering prizes or discounts to winners can encourage participation and make your pub a popular spot for both pool enthusiasts and football fans.

Maximize Revenues and Avoid an Own Goal

In summary, ensuring your pool tables are in excellent condition during the busy Euros season is a must for UK pubs. Investing in high-quality Hainsworth cloths, considering custom designs, maintaining your tables regularly, upgrading to a cashless payment system, and organizing play effectively can all contribute to a better customer experience and increased revenues. With these strategies, there’s no excuse for pub operators not to hit the back of the net and avoid an own goal!

“Make the most of this summer and the Euros by keeping your pool tables in top shape and ready for action,” says Mike Clokie, Managing Director at E-Service. “Get in touch with our team now for more details and cheers to a fantastic season of football and fun at the pub!”
