Accessory

Slimline Cup Dispenser

Holds 200 cups in four stacks of 50, in a cabinet just 200mm wide and built to stand between two units on a 2 Tap or 4 Tap install. It keeps cups at the point of pour rather than behind the bar — which is exactly where the queue re-forms if you leave it out. The 12 Tap does not need one: it has four cup holders built into the unit.

Self-Pour Systems for Permanent UK Venues

Self-Service Bars for Wedding Venues:
A Guest Experience That Just Works

From drinks reception to last orders.

PintPod is engineered for the rhythm of a wedding day: a controlled drinks reception, a demanding post-speeches rush, and a long late-night bar. Our permanent self-pour units sit quietly alongside your existing bar and deliver a polished pint in under twelve seconds, so no guest queues while the DJ is waiting.

The 500mm footprint fits listed buildings and wedding barns without structural changes. Tap Command gives your events team live keg levels per service, ID-verified pour controls, and per-booking analytics, so you can cost the bar accurately against the package.

Hire for a single weekend or install permanently; most venues recover the investment inside the first season.

Bespoke Event Spaces:
A Permanent Bar Without the Permanence

Blank-canvas venues that flex with every brief.

Bespoke event spaces (conference halls, exhibition venues, private hire rooms) run every booking differently. PintPod was built for that ambiguity. Install a permanent fast-pour bar that can be screened, concealed, or re-skinned per event, and swap kegs between bookings in minutes.

Tap Command reconciles every pour against the booking record, so corporate clients get a clean invoice and your operations team stops chasing ullage. Add or remove units seasonally as your bookings calendar demands.

For pop-up weekends and one-off functions, short-term hire is also available. Commission a permanent unit for your baseline demand and layer hired units for peak events.

Hotels & Private Clubs:
Consistent Service, Every Shift

Lobby bars, club lounges, and members' rooms.

Hotels and private clubs live or die on service consistency. PintPod removes the variable: a perfect pour on a Wednesday lunchtime is the same perfect pour on a Saturday night, no matter who's on shift.

Our 2-Tap and 4-Tap units slot into existing lobby bars, lounges and members' rooms without reconfiguring your beer lines. Integrate with your PMS for room charging, member accounts, or standard card payments. Tap Command surfaces pour data by outlet so your F&B manager sees exactly which bar, which drink, and which shift is performing.

Extend your licensed hours without extending your wage bill. PintPod stays open even when the bar team is down to one.

Restaurants & Gastropubs:
Free Your Team for the Food

Stop losing good staff to the pump.

Restaurants and gastropubs don't lose money on pints. They lose it on the five minutes a senior waiter spends pulling one while a table waits for dessert. PintPod hands the pour to the guest and gives your team their time back.

Installed behind an existing back-bar or as a standalone island in the dining room, the 2-Tap unit handles a typical 80–120 cover service comfortably. Pair it with Tap Command to feed your EPOS, track per-table consumption, and flag keg changes before they hit service.

93%+ keg yield against a typical 78–83% by hand, zero overfills, and a payback typically under a year on operator-run sites.

Bars & Pubs:
Pour More, Staff Less

Built for the pace of a Friday night.

A wet-led bar lives or dies on how fast it can serve the third round. PintPod takes the high-volume, low-margin pours off your bar staff entirely, so the team behind the counter is free for cocktails, food orders and the customers who actually need talking to.

A 4-Tap unit clears 300 pints an hour without a single member of staff pulling them, and every pour is measured, so the 93%+ keg yield lands straight on your gross margin instead of in the drip tray. Age verification is built into the flow, with pour controls that stay under your licence conditions.

Install permanently against your baseline trade and hire extra units for the weeks that need them.

Private Events & Pop-Ups:
Any Event, Perfect Pints

A full bar, wherever the booking is.

Private parties, festivals, corporate days and pop-ups all have the same problem: a bar that has to exist for six hours and then disappear. PintPod arrives ready, connects in about thirty minutes, and pours a measured pint from the first guest to the last.

Because every pour is logged against the event, you get a clean reconciliation at the end of the night rather than a stock-take in the dark. Take payment at the tap, or run the bar on a pre-paid tab for the host.

Short-term hire covers one-off dates; if the same event repeats, the same units can be bought outright and stored between bookings.

Your Questions

Yes. PintPod is built for permanent self-service bar installations at UK wedding venues, hotels, private clubs, restaurants, gastropubs and bespoke event spaces. Our 2-Tap and 4-Tap units are engineered for continuous daily operation with a 500mm footprint that fits existing bar layouts. Short-term hire is available for one-off private events.
Permanent installs are typically bought outright with a monthly support & licensing fee (£250 for the 2-Tap and 4-Tap, £500 for the 12-Tap) on a 24-month term. A 3-month trial is available for venues that want to validate the system before purchase. Flexible hire is also available for private event bookings.
The 2-Tap and 4-Tap units both have a 500mm base footprint, roughly a bar stool width. They fit behind an existing bar, against a wall, or as a standalone island. No major renovation needed, which is ideal for listed buildings, period venues, and wedding barns where structural changes aren't an option.
Most permanent installations go live within a few days of delivery. Our team handles setup, keg line configuration, Tap Command onboarding, and staff training, so your operations team stays focused on service rather than technical teething.
Three levers: staff savings (one PintPod supervisor replaces 2 manual pourers), wastage reduction (93%+ keg yield versus a typical 78–83% with manual pouring), and throughput (up to 300 pints/hour from a single 4-Tap unit). Most permanent-install customers see payback inside 6–12 months.
PintPod is UK-built, modular, and engineered for real venue operations, not a converted pour-by-wristband system. Hardware stays lean and serviceable, every unit ships with Tap Command for live keg levels and pour analytics, and we support outright purchase or long-term hire so the commercial model fits how your venue actually runs.
The bottleneck at a bar is the transaction, not the pour. On a PintPod a guest selects, pays and pours two pints in about 45 seconds, and several guests are served at once — a 4 Tap runs four simultaneous pours, around 300 pints an hour. Staff move from pouring drinks to checking ID and changing kegs.
24 months from purchase. Months 1–12 cover parts and labour; months 13–24 cover parts. The warranty runs alongside the 24-month support and licensing term, so cover and contract finish together rather than the warranty running out while you are still paying.
A PintPod 2-Tap is £7,500 + VAT outright; the 4-Tap is £8,500 + VAT; the 12-Tap is £10,500 + VAT. Purchases include a support & licensing fee of £250/month for the 2-Tap and 4-Tap, or £500/month for the 12-Tap (24-month term), covering the software platform, payment integration, remote monitoring, maintenance and updates. Flexible hire from £125/day or £450/month. Contact hello@pintpod.co.uk for a tailored quote.
