Licensees of one of Invernessâs oldest pubs are celebrating a decade at the helm.
Craig MacLeod and Collette MacPherson are marking the occasion with a toast of thanks to the local community for supporting them throughout their time in charge â and especially during the pandemic.
They took over The Innes Bar, in Innes Street, in March 2011 when it was little used and unloved.
Now though we’ve had time to think harder about how our businesses work and many pubs are bringing in money-saving equipment and software to help boost the bottom line.
In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic pubs had to switch their businesses into more tech-focused operations for various reasons, but the main driver was the need for booking and payment systems.
Countless apps rose from the nowhere and were taken up by desperate operators who needed solutions to problems they’d never encountered before – mainly ordering and paying from tables but also the need for more intelligent booking software.
