CardsSafe Ltd. has worked with leisure and hospitality businesses for over twenty years. From bars, hotels, pubs and restaurants to golf courses, galleries and sports grounds, CardsSafe remains one of the most affordable ways to help hospitality venues up-sell on-site by offering a secure and trusted way to operate customer tabs.
Over twenty years ago, the CardsSafe system was designed to securely retain customer credit, debit and ID cards while the cardholder runs a tab. The design team wanted to create a simple, affordable and effective system that did not capture data but did allow staff to up-sell, protect bank cards from fraud and give customers extra peace of mind that their cards were held securely while they ran a food or drink tab. The system makes it easier for venues to manage customers’ bills, allowing staff to up-sell and build better customer relationships.
More than 5,000 hospitality businesses now utilise the system, including Hilton Hotels, Lord’s Cricket Ground, and many restaurants and bars. Golf courses also benefit from using CardsSafe with their golfing equipment hires and in clubhouses. The London Golf Club, one of the UK’s most prestigious golf centres, first installed the CardsSafe system in 2008, adding additional units in 2014 and again in 2020. CardsSafe is used by the catering staff at the club as they also serve golfers with food and drinks on the course.
Hotels are also benefiting in their bars and restaurants. CardsSafe has had a longstanding relationship and has facilitated hire services and bar tabs for Hilton Hotels since 2005. The card systems are in over sixty outlets nationwide, and what started as a partnership at one of their flagship hotels in Cardiff soon rolled out to the rest of the UK.
Matthew, Director of Hilton Hotels, explained, “All our customers are pleased that we look after their cards in a more secure manner with CardsSafe.”
