DOJO Card Reader Client-Sams Bar Chorley

 

The owner of Sams bar in Chorley- Tony Fiztgerald knows a thing or 2 about hospitality. So he knew exactly what he was looking for in the DOJO Card Reader.

He brings an incredible 30 years experience of the trade, having worked in event security, and managing both pubs and nightclubs. Sams Bar in Chorley is tucked away a very short walk from the busy town centre. The pub itself is over 140 years old and Tony has been at the helm of it for over 4 years.

Tony is a solid, likeable chap. His regulars see him as an approachable, no nonsense person and their fondness of him is clear.  The place feels relaxed, and we have no doubt this is due to the team behind the bar, who are all just as friendly as Tony himself.

Although the pub itself is a traditional building with its original layout, Tony has spent considerable time and effort renovating it. The washrooms have been upgraded, along with the beautiful sun trap of a beer garden to the rear of the pub.

DOJO Card Reader- Outdoor Benefits

 

With a large and comfortable seating area, Sams bar is a great place to while away an afternoon. Since having a DOJO card machine installed with Get Shrewd, it has become far easier to manage drinks and payments outside. Its so easy to do outdoor table service when your card reader works off 4g rather than your wifi.

Tony has found this then reduces a ‘bottle neck’ at the bar inside on sunnier days which means the whole place feels really relaxed and those indoors can be served much quicker too.

With Sky and BT Sports showing regular televised games there can be quite a crowd. Tony himself is a huge rugby fan so you can guarantee those matches will be shown.

The Dojo card reader is fast

 

 

At busy times they need their card transactions to be quick, and this is the thing that Tony likes most about their DOJO card reader.

 

 

“The speed is outstanding”

Tony

 

DOJO card transactions are 80% faster than most other machines, and these seconds soon add up to a lot less waiting around! Serve your customers quicker and enhance their experience.

Regulars at Sams Bar love the midweek bingo games, making it easy for them to pop in and meet friends during the week for a catch up. Every Friday evening is dedicated to Karaoke, although we have yet to hear Tony’s attempts.

Saturdays bring regular live music. Solo artists and bands frequent the venue which has a great reputation amongst the entertainment industry for having a decent and welcoming crowd.

 

 

Dojo Represents Quality and Value

 

Tony balances great value drinks with good quality service. Pints are available from only £2.50 and his spirits prices are really competitive. Similarly Dojo represents a saving for most users along with a host of other benefits that Tony enjoys.

Although Sams bar doesn’t sell food as such, they do of course sell a great range of bar snacks. They can accommodate private functions and cater for them with buffet style food making it a good venue for get togethers.

Sams bar has recently been chosen as a venue for a Veterans club which meet regularly to catch up and support each other.

Opening at noon each day, they are open until 11pm Monday to Thursday and later at the weekends.

A quick glance of the bar shows us their caring side. There are collection boxes for St Catherine’s Hospice, Guide dogs for the blind and Derain House-all of which are causes close to Tony’s heart. Framed thank you certificates are proudly on display from charities they have helped in the past. A nod to the generosity of the clientele.

Children are welcome up until 7.30pm and well behaved dogs at all times. It is touching to see water bowls for pets in the beer garden. This is a place that takes care of little details.

Dojo Pays Into Your Account The Next Day

 

Little details really matter- that’s why we advocate the DOJO card machine, because it means your transactions are paid into your account the very next day. Tony’s old machine took 5 days. Cash flow is important to independent businesses like Sams Bar.

There is free parking available outside the pub for 2 hours. It is situated opposite the train station and adjacent to the bus station. Ideal for the first and last pub of the day if you are travelling into this traditional market town with a growing food and beverage sector.

We asked Tony to summarise his experience with our Andy and Get Shrewd

 

“I’m proper chuffed,  I can’t find any fault with it”

 

If you fancy feeling proper chuffed too, get yourselves into Sam’s Bar. It has all the things that make a pub great, and none of the things that don’t.
