Big report out recently from Lumina Intelligence. The takeaway for pubs is simple.

Customers are being choosier. They want a reason to come out. The venues winning are the ones giving them something to do, not just somewhere to sit.

Competitive socialising is the phrase the analysts use. Pool, darts, gaming, quiz nights is what we use. The stuff that turns "a quick pint" into "let's stay for one more."

⚽ World Cup Ready Checklist ⚽

Big matches mean bigger crowds… and bigger pressure behind the bar.

Before tournament season kicks off, make sure your venue is ready:

✔ Drinks stocked
✔ Staff planned
✔ Glassware ready
✔ Cooling checked
✔ Ice machine capacity covered ❄️

Running out of ice during a packed matchday service can slow everything down.

Our Glacier ice machines are built for busy hospitality environments — helping you keep drinks cold and service moving.

Get ready before the first whistle.

Football fans don’t stop at half-time — and neither should your bar.

When the World Cup rush hits, clean glassware needs to keep moving. A slow or unreliable glass washer can quickly become a bottleneck during your busiest service.

Get ahead of the crowds with reliable glass washing built for busy venues.

⚽ Fast turnaround
⚽ Reliable performance
⚽ Local support when you need it
⚽ Clear Cool

This time last night @ the The Queen Lizzie, Bolton (Inglenook Inns & Taverns )

Brilliant Beat the Pro Pool night with our very own Connor Jones!

Thanks to Dj Alex O’Neill and Phil for going down and hosting the evening. We heard that Alex and Connor's duet of "My Way" went down particularly well!

The data's clear: lunch is the new battleground.

Lumina's latest report shows lunch participation up 1.4ppts in two years, with brunch growing faster than dinner. Pubs that get their daytime offer right (food, atmosphere, signage, music) are picking up trade that used to belong to coffee shops and restaurants.

Our Innfinite Entertainment System could help! Get in touch now.

Have you seen this in The Morning Advertiser? (article in comments) Karaoke is officially booming again in UK pubs. One site is pulling in £2,000 a week from bookings alone.

The catch? Most of the success stories involve custom singing rooms, hosts and bookings systems. Brilliant if you've got the space and the staff. If you haven't, our Karaoke Wall is built for you. It lives on the Innfinite system you may already have, customers browse and queue songs themselves on a touchscreen, and your team doesn't have to do a thing. Quiet Tuesday or rammed Saturday, it just runs.
