Cafe Barrier Systems, Rope Barrier Systems and Accessories

What are barrier systems used for?

The purpose of a barrier kit is to designate certain areas, such as for queuing or to demarcate an outdoor seating or smoking area. As they are available with bespoke printing, they also double up as a fantastic advertising tool for outside your venue. Some are also available with additional functions, such as the ability to add on merchandising tubs, hooks or poster holders to your indoor queuing system, creating more opportunities to convey information or encourage impulse buys near the till.

Can I use cafe barriers outside my pub or restaurant?

Absolutely! Our system is sent with a printed banner featuring your custom artwork, company logo or advertising, available in black and chrome. The barriers are suitable for all venue types in the hospitality sector and beyond.

The printed barrier signs are available either single or double sided, and the barrier kits are triple function, simultaneously marking the boundaries of an outdoor area, giving your patrons a little privacy from passersby, and acting as an advertising banner.

What are the benefits of using an in-queue merchandising system?

Our In-Queue Merchandising System is ideal for many retail settings such as supermarkets, off licenses, pharmacies and clothes shops. They help to set the boundaries of a queuing area, while simultaneously offering opportunities to pick up any additional purchases at the point of sale.

The unit is available in various formats, including with a 2 tier newspaper stand, with 2 rows or eurohooks and a merchandising tub, and with four shelves. We also supply an In-Queue Merchandising System Extension Kit so you can make your queuing area as long as you need it to be.

See our guide to various point of sale displays for cafes and bars, including cafe barriers and artificial boxwood hedges.

Where should retractable queue barriers be used?

Retractable barriers are great for areas where queue sizes may differ from time to time, such as during events at clubs, at meet and greets or signings, at airports and at coach stations. They are extendable simply by adding as many extra poles as you want, as each pole has an inbuilt belt to connect to the other poles. These kits are also optionally available with an A4 poster holder so you can guide customers into the queue or inform them as they move along it.

Which barrier system should I use at events?

At events such as exhibitions and opening days, or at exclusive establishments, velvet rope or twisted rope barriers are a great choice, as they are clearly recognised as a barrier while having a luxurious, upmarket appearance.
