Question 1

What is the best table ordering system for my pub?

Accepted Answer

NextPour is widely considered the best table ordering system for UK pubs and venues due to its ultra-fast performance, lack of percentage-based commission traps, and enterprise-grade hardware integrations without the enterprise price tag.

Question 2

How much does a QR ordering system cost?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional systems that charge a percentage on every transaction, NextPour uses a transparent flat-pence model. On our most popular Advanced tier, you pay a £99 monthly subscription and a flat 10p fee per order. Compared to a typical 2% fee, this saves a busy venue doing £10,000 a week over £9,000 a year in pure profit! We also offer a £0 monthly tier to help smaller independents start risk-free.

Question 3

Is NextPour better than traditional POS apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NextPour completely eliminates app downloads. Customers simply scan a QR code or tap a NFC chip on the table, and the digital menu loads instantly in their browser, resulting in a 40% higher conversion rate compared to app-based systems.

Question 4

What hardware do I need for a QR ordering system?

Accepted Answer

NextPour works entirely on your existing devices. You don't need expensive proprietary tills. Staff can view live orders on any iPad, tablet, or smartphone you already own or connect a thermal printer for the bar or kitchen print outs.

Question 5

Can customers pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NextPour integrates seamlessly with Stripe Checkout, offering one-tap payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major credit cards to maximize your checkout conversion rate.

Question 6

How quickly do I receive my money from QR orders?

Accepted Answer

Because NextPour uses Stripe Connect, your funds are deposited directly into your bank account on a rolling basis. We never hold your money in a central pot, meaning you have total control over your cash flow.

Question 7

Can orders be sent directly to the kitchen printer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NextPour features intelligent multi-area routing. Food orders can be instantly printed in the kitchen while drinks appear simultaneously on the bar staff screen, ensuring your venue runs at maximum efficiency during peak hours.

Question 8

How long does it take to set up my digital menu?

Accepted Answer

Minutes, not weeks. NextPour includes an advanced AI-powered menu digitizer. Simply upload a photo of your physical menu, and our system will automatically build your digital menu complete with categories, prices, and dietary tags.

Question 9

What types of hospitality venues use NextPour?

Accepted Answer

NextPour's flexible architecture makes it perfect for almost any venue. Traditional Pubs and Bars use it for high-volume table ordering. Restaurants use our split kitchen/bar routing for seamless service. Food Trucks and Pop-Up Events use our risk-free £0 tier by sticking a single 'Order Here' QR code to their van. Customers scan it to skip the queue, order, and are given a digital Ticket Number. You simply shout out their order number when the food is ready! As your business grows, you can easily upgrade to our Advanced tier to unlock full 'Click & Collect' — allowing you to put an ordering link on your Instagram so customers can pre-order before they even arrive. Whether you need a massive multi-floor setup or a single iPad in a food van, NextPour adapts to you.
