We love seeing businesses succeed with the support of our bar POS system, so when we heard that Nick —General Manager at Ten Green Bottles— had successfully integrated SumUp Point of Sale into his bar till system and team’s workday, we couldn’t wait to find out more.
Founded in 2015, Ten Green Bottles is a family-owned hospitality business equipped with 50 years of experience in the industry, and this is reflected in its two buzzing Staffordshire locations.

Their spots in Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Stone are now thriving and a hit with regulars as well as newcomers.
So, how did Ten Green Bottles integrate the SumUp POS bar software into their team’s workday? Let’s find out.
“SumUp POS seemed to offer everything we wanted at a really sensible rate and so many features that interested us.”

Why Choose SumUp Bar POS Software for a Bar Till System?
A well-designed bar POS system can revolutionise how hospitality businesses operate. For Nick and the team, SumUp offered a comprehensive solution at an affordable cost. Compared to other UK providers, SumUp’s bar POS software stood out with its extensive range of features and intuitive design. Let’s take a closer look at how these features improved Ten Green Bottles’ daily operations.
Feature-Rich Bar POS at an Affordable Cost
When we spoke to Nick about the impact of our POS software and hardware on Ten Green Bottles, he mentioned the number of features on offer. Compared to other UK POS providers, Ten Green Bottles found SumUp provided a lot more POS features that were of interest to them, as well as finding them easy to use.
One of the top features that Ten Green Bottles and other hospitality businesses use every day is the table overview tool, where you can mirror your restaurant or bar’s table layout on-screen.
With this overview, you can check the status of each table, as well as keep an eye on who’s having what. Nick was particularly impressed with how modular the feature was, with the flexibility to edit the on-screen layout according to the bar’s exact setup each day.
The team can also accept card payments easily using their SumUp Air card reader, which seamlessly integrates with the SumUp POS system.
Streamlining Service with Goodeats
Ten Green Bottles can’t get enough of Goodeats — SumUp’s fully integrated mobile ordering platform. Goodeats lets customers browse menus, place orders, and pay using their phones. This not only speeds up service but also reduces pressure on staff, especially during busy periods. Other additional features of Goodeats include:
• Waste tracking: Goodeats helps teams monitor the wastage of food and drinks, making it easier to cut costs.
• Stock tracking: It is easier to track the remaining stock level, such as the measures of alcohol in the bottles of spirits left at the bar. That way, Ten Green Bottles can ensure popular items are always available.
The result? A smoother, faster, and less stressful experience for staff and customers. With SumUp integration, delivery and click-and-collect services are streamlined, boosting operational efficiency.
“Rather than hiring and paying an outside company, SumUp POS has given us the tools to do it ourselves.”
Why a POS With a Loyalty Program is a Game Changer
A POS system with loyalty program features, like SumUp’s, fosters deeper connections between businesses and their patrons. Loyalty programs reward customers for spending and make them feel valued, encouraging repeat visits. For Ten Green Bottles, the POS Loyalty Program was a game changer. The ability to manage the program in-house was cost-effective.
Launching Poppies Points: A POS with a Loyalty Program
Ten Green Bottles’ welcoming atmosphere, prime locations, and delicious offerings quickly built a loyal customer base. To reward this loyalty, Nick and his team launched their own POS loyalty program, Poppies Points, with the help of SumUp POS.
For every pound spent by Ten Green Bottles customers, they earn one point. These points can eventually be used to claim from a selection of rewards, ranging from free drinks and coffee to a cash amount off your order. This initiative, powered by SumUp’s loyalty tools, led to a 2% increase in transactions and a 7% rise in revenue.
SumUp POS also integrates with Mail Chimp. It allows Ten Green Bottles to communicate news, offers, and more with their customers via email and push notifications easily.
