Preventing Dine & Dash with CardsSafe It's a good idea to hold customers' bank cards securely while they run a tab to ensure they don't make off with payment. The hospitality industry has been plagued with dine-and-dash since the cost-of-living crisis. A few bad apples leaving a bar, pub or restaurant without paying can cost the venue hundreds if not thousands of pounds every year. Too many dine-and-dash cases are being reported, but simple, affordable solutions exist. Hospitality managers shouldn't worry about dine-and-dash. The good news is that CardsSafe is a genuine deterrent for walkouts because the venues securely store cards. Deers Hut pub in Liphook, Hampshire, first came to CardsSafe in 2013 to seek help with a large volume of indoor and outdoor customers' bar tabs. One of the main motivations for utilising CardsSafe was to stay on top of where their customers sat outside. Deborah Steel, the Director, told us, "The CardsSafe system is great for servicing customers who enjoy our outdoor areas." Over 5,000 venues in the UK use CardsSafe. The system is used by Young's pubs, golf courses, Hilton Hotels, Lord's Cricket Ground, and many independent restaurants and bars in the hospitality industry. CardsSafe is affordable, too. Each unit, containing ten card drawers, costs just £9.95 per month. So, just one £120* walkout is the cost of a 10-card CardsSafe unit for an entire year. In addition, each hire comes with customer service troubleshooting and free replacement keys, and additional units can be added at any time. The question is, can you afford not to have CardsSafe as a part of your business?
