barMate
The bar product specialists
Business description
barMate is an innovative new product designed to generate increased revenues in bars, clubs and pubs by increasing the amount of lager, cider, stout or draft bitter that can be sold at peak times. By releasing the bar-staff to serve other drinks or to take payment, barMate saves significant amounts of time when serving customers, reducing wait times and improving the customer experience as well as increasing the volume of drinks sold.

Deborah’s reasons for investing
Richard, Sebastien and Nick presented a very credible pitch. They were articulate and accomplished with a great skill base and knowledge. Plus, Sebastian's experience in bringing a patented product to market demonstrated a real and tangible track record. I also completely understood the importance of being able to serve drinks fast without product waste, having spent years in a part of the leisure industry where everyone rushes to the bar in between entertainment breaks.
Despite all this, as the product was still at prototype and unproven, Barmate was a “punt". However Richard, Sebastien and Nick had improved their chances by getting everything else right and made it a “punt” worth taking!
Latest update from Richard, Sebastian & Nick
We have recently met again with Weatherspoon and have had an excellent
meeting. The concept is now being presented higher up the decision chain
and we will hear back shortly if we are to be invited in to
present again.
