So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

    A pub I go into encourages people to not form queues, that’d be great if the staff could keep track of who is to be served next. Which they don’t. So people queue and do so in a way sociopaths can’t skip it.

      Whole good bar staff should be able to do this, there’s a degree of etiquette from the punters that’s always been in play too, if you know someone was up the ramp before you, you tell the bar staff if they try and serve you first.

    Not British. How does this work? Do you order, and receive your order while remaining queued (Subway style)? Or do you order, leave, and get called when your order is done (Starbucks style)? Ot do you order, move to the side, and mill about till your order’s up (McDonalds)?

    They should have a designated queue area, but still maintain those sitting at the bar. Alternate, one order for the seated, one for the queue. If you want to get fancy, replace the queue area with a cubby system and an app. Order from the app, pay, and get a QR code and a cubby number when your drink is ready. QR unlocked your drink cubby. The cubbies can be see through. I should invent this.
