Nothing earth shattering but here's an idea so mad that it might actually cause a stir (or at least work for six weeks of marketing hype
). UBER for pubs. Well you were in a pub when the conversation came up weren't you ?
Yes, its mad but hey what gives?
So you 'hail' a pint when leaving your house or other location (other pub maybe if you are on the crawl). You indicate mode of transport - car, walking, etc.. The app then times you/predicts you and your journey (or tells you when you should leave if close by) and you shall have the perfect pint just being left to sit on the counter as you enter the door.
Payment made at point of ordering. Name on personalised beer mat the pint will reside on (Starbucks for your pint as it were). Integrate tipping jar, ratings of the pint which will give a best pint in town via the app. Rate the bar tender (service, well turned out and good looks!!, smell!!!, whatever gets people talking). Expand it to "Instagram your pint" (or beer mat with your name on it). Selfies with the pint. Selfies with the bar tender -urrggghhh well if you were desperate I guess. Voting on the photos for the morning after. Sponsored "best of" social media posts. All those post hipstery things that someone somewhere loves. Lots of other "value add"/intelligence that you could offer the pubs and/or drinks distributors.
The other angle on it is pre-ordering in your local pub. Picture the scene - 10 deep at the bar, the place absolutely rocking, and you casually walk up to the "quick lane" when the app has notified you that your drink is ready, and pick up your pint having pre-ordered, pre-paid and receive a smile from the bar tender as you chuckle at the other patrons doing hand to hand combat like a scene from the hunger games to get said bar tenders attention.
Then, expand the horizons to something a little more health concious (really???) and allow it (OPTIONALLY) to advise people on how much they've been drinking and drinking sensibly - a rating scale from 'good for the craic' to 'sensible boy/girl' to 'you f***ing loonatic' - meh... better have that enabled via a toggle switch buried deep in the settings menu Probably lots more you could build in if you wanted.
Mad? YES... absolutely... but as they say, some poor marketing executive will take the fall for this one.
I've no intention to develop it so if anyone else is MAD enough (or just has spare time on their hands) and in entrepreneurial spirit wants to take a punt then be my guest.
(not terribly difficult to do either in app terms - I bet Diagio would take an interest)0 -

Outstanding!!!
And here we were trying to solve first world problems, this is a deadly idea.
Projected journey time between bars may be difficult depending on pints consumed, I’m sure there is some formula out there.
The express lane idea is a winner, I’d happily pay a couple of euro for the privilege of hassle-free pint ordering.
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened already.
