Card Pillars

Card pillars are a convenient way for bartenders to keep track of their customers’ tabs, and help to avoid any errors when charging-up. Although they’re particularly specialised pieces of equipment and aren’t seen everywhere, their popularity is on the rise and they should definitely be considered in all businesses where keeping tabs is common.

Card pillars avoid any guesswork when it comes to keeping track of tabs, with both the cards and the receipts being kept easily and neatly in one place. Most card pillars can hold several cards at any one time, and many have magnified lenses so you can easily see which card you want. Some even come with adjustable lights, making it even easier to spot the right card in the often dim lighting of a bar or pub.

The ease of keeping track of tabs is obviously the major advantage to having card pillars in your establishment, but they’re also great for making sure that everything’s organised. You don’t want to be flailing around at the end of the night trying to find the right card and the appropriate tabs, and card pillars stop any possible problems from occurring.

Limited Style Variation

Because card pillars are functional as opposed to decorative, you won’t find a great variation in terms of styles, colours or designs. The usual colour will be black, with clear sections to put your cards in so you can easily see the different cards you have to hand. You will, however, be able to find card pillars that can hold different amounts of cards, perfect for if you often need to keep track of several cards at once.

These are particularly specialised pieces of equipment, and as such you could find that it’s harder to find them than it is regular bar accessories. You probably won’t be able to find them in your local high street, but if you’re in the business and know where to look then you shouldn’t have a problem. If all else fails, check out the Internet for a great selection and to see what you can find.

Great Addition To Your Bar

So, card pillars would be well worth considering for any bar or pub, or indeed for any business where you need to keep track of tabs. They allow for easy organisation and quick charging, and make the whole process of keeping tabs a whole lot easier.
