CardsSafe and the UK leisure industry

For over twenty years, CardsSafe has been helping golf courses, clubhouses, sports venues, bars, and restaurants securely retain their customers’ bank and ID cards while they run a tab or trial a product or service.

CardsSafe’s technology has revolutionised how the leisure and hospitality industries manage their customers’ obligations. The system is trusted by UK venues, including golf centres Foxhills, Silvermere, The London Golf Club and Redlibbets, and brands such as Hilton Hotels, Young’s Pubs and Lord’s – the Home of Cricket. 

Grant Rumbelow, Food and Beverage Operations Manager at London Golf Club, said, “CardsSafe has been a welcome addition to the London Golf Club. We utilise the system in our Golf Shop and Spike Bar and on-course with our Drinks Buggy. With CardsSafe, we can safely store customers’ cards whilst they enjoy their round of golf.” 

Dani, a manager at Silvermere Golf, added, “CardsSafe has allowed us to safely retain customers’ cards while they trial equipment on the driving range. We can trust CardsSafe and efficiently replace any faulty or lost components.”

With CardsSafe, leisure venues can safely retain bank and ID cards, offering the opportunity to up-sell in the clubhouse and protect rental equipment from becoming ‘lost’. In addition, its wireless technology helps with customer hires, and staff can act quickly should equipment need fixing or replacing. CardsSafe also allows the team to offer customers bar tabs to assist with their food and drink offers.
