HOW IT WORKS

Zero Cost, Zero Risk, Hassle Free

Contactless Operations provide top quality gaming tables that are ready to go, fitted with a 3G/4G enabled contactless payment reader. We operate on a revenue share basis in a pure partnership approach (no upfront capital costs and/or ongoing rental commitments).

We also provide all ancillary premium equipment needed to start and continue playing, with our full service and maintenance package included.

The Canal House, Birmingham

The Canal House is quite simply one of the trendiest bars in the UK.

Owned by The New World Trading Company, who operate established chains The Botanist and The Florist, the venue opened in 2017. Contactless Operations are proud to have partnered with the group and have provided The Canal House with two luxury 'Royal Class' American Pool tables, with unique contactless payment technology.

The ability to provide contactless payments technology, coupled with the aesthetic fit of this table, marks a paradigm shift in American Pool in the UK.

If you fancy a game on one of the UK's first contactless pool tables in one of the best locations in the UK, you can't look any further than The Canal House.

Canal House - Contactless pool table with Contactless Operations

We operate our tables on a zero cost, revenue share basis. We are unique in the way we operate in the sense that you will have:

No capital expenditure and/or ongoing rental agreements - the table, accessories, installation package and ongoing service package is provided at no cost (RRP of £6-8k per table);
No cash collection requirements - payments are collected and managed remotely through our contactless reader (you will just need floor power available below the table);
We work as a partnership - it is mutually beneficial to maximise revenue takings by ensuring a quality and highly maintained table

As part of our service, we take all the hassle away from you and also include a full service and call out package, including:

All equipment provided, including cues, tips, wall racks, quality Aramith pool balls are included;
We provide unlimited service call outs for machine failure;
An annual service and re-cloth is included as standard;
Contactless payment processing and associated accountancy and VAT submissions are all managed

Revenue shares (as profit) are transferred directly to you, monthly and in arrears by BACS. There is no cash to collect and payments are secure.

We typically look to set the revenue share at the start of the agreement, taking into account various factors, such as price of play, location and footfall.

Annual maintenance visits are scheduled to ensure that the table remains in perfect working condition and that equipment is replaced if necessary

We include an annual re-cloth as standard within our package and make sure you are always stocked up with perishables replenished

Because we operate on a revenue share basis, we have as much interest as you do in keeping your table looking and playing as good as new

Our expert maintenance team have been building, repairing and maintaining SAM Billiards pool tables for years, so you can be assured of a professional, efficient and thorough service

Additional call-outs can be arranged if a table falls out of service or is damaged in a way that effects playability or the ability to take payments.

SETTING PRICE OF PLAY

The price of play (PoP) is completely flexible. We can work with you to establish a PoP that is the perfect balance of being attractive to customers and ensuring good profits

With contactless payments, customers aren't required to carry loose change, so a game price of £1.75 is as practical as £1.50 - all it takes is a tap on a phone or contactless card

ADJUSTING PRICE OF PLAY

We can adjust the PoP remotely, usually within 24hrs of a written request. This means you can maximise your profit generation by reducing prices over quiet periods to ensure attraction (eg: summer holidays for a table in a Student Union) or increasing prices if you can be certain of increased customer interest in playing (eg: a pub in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival)

We do, however, recommend that prices are as stable as possible to avoid customer dissatisfaction. Incremental increases over time, in line with inflation or localised trends, are generally accepted and can be an excellent way of achieving marginal gains in your income

SPACE

Enough room to reasonably place a table and allow players enough room to make their shots obstruction-free.

Please see our product pages or get in touch to see how much space you need and whether a table fits in your desired location

POWER

To ensure our tables are operational 24/7, we have fitted our table mechanisms and payment systems with mains power inputs. A singe cable (provided and installed) is connected from the table to a standard UK electrical socket

PLAYERS

A table without enough players is not going to generate the revenue required to pay for itself. We can work with you to ensure that your desired site is going to see enough footfall to make a pool table a profitable addition

BANKING

Our profit share payments are made to you by BACS and there are no cash transactions. Banking is essential
