Pool tables have been a staple of commercial establishments for decades. Almost everyone knows how to have a quick and fun frame of pool with friends whilst out and about, either at their local pub, bowling alley, leisure centre or community centre. Home Leisure Direct's rental agreements make operating these classic pieces of equipment easier and more profitable than ever before.

The age of contactless payment is here
Venues all over the country are discovering the incredible benefits of contactless payment in their venues. For years, pool tables have remained unchanged, relying on standard coin mechanism systems to take payments for games. However, Home Leisure Direct has pioneered the use of contactless payment for pool tables to bring about a contactless revolution in venues. Simply tap your contactless card or even your smart pay enabled phone to take payment in seconds, and begin a frame of pool with friends.
The benefits of contactless payment are numerous from the increase in takings, the low-maintenance nature and the increased dwell time of customers in your venue to name only a few. For complete details on contactless pool tables (as well as how to take advantage of a free trial) then check out our contactless pool table page here.
Already own a pool table? Consider updating
We are well aware that there are countless pool tables already on the market, and being operated at this very moment. In fact, many operators we spoke to had already been operating their own pool tables for years, to find that they weren't driving profits like they maybe used to. In our research, we discovered that many pool tables currently in operation are in fact decades old, and have either fallen into disrepair, look neglected or have otherwise not seen any kind of update since their installation.
The experiment we ran with these businesses was conclusive. The addition of a new table with easy payment options and fresh equipment boosted the table's performance tremendously.
Why are pool tables great for business?
Pool's appeal is widespread and universal, making It one of the most instantly recognisable centrepieces to any venue that all manner of customers can enjoy. Pool tables have been one of the greatest tools to help customers spend more time in venues and by proxy, increase other sales at the venue.
In addition, pool makes for a very reliable additional revenue stream once up and running.
