What types of products can I put on the bar with water stream?
The bar with water stream is only suitable for presenting small, light products such as sushi, tapas, finger foods, canapés or jewellery. Drinks and heavier products will not float round. We recommend the bar with conveyor belt for those products.

Can I use my own service on the bar with water stream?
The bar has been designed to take the 15 cm diameter sushi plates commonly used in the Netherlands. Each float usually takes one plate in one colour. The plate fits exactly into the float so that it is firmly supported. You have two options: you can either serve the food on a 'happy spoon' or another disposable serving item. You place the serving item on the sushi plate, which remains on the float, and the guest takes the food (including the disposable serving item) off the plate. Alternatively, you can serve the food on the sushi plates themselves. The guest takes the whole plate off the float, and you replace it with a new plate. This option calls for a lot more plates, of course. You can hire these plates from Pre-Motion or from your hire company or caterers.

How do you get inside the mobile bar?
There are acrylic panels fitted between the aluminium supports. If you want, we can leave a panel out so that you can get in and out of the bar easily. Any panel can be left out. You can always replace the panel once you are inside the bar.

How much power do I need?
The bar with water stream uses very little power, i.e. no more than 500 W. It can be connected to any standard 230 V power outlet. If you are using LED lighting, you will need a power outlet near the bar with 2 sockets. The LED lighting hardly uses any power.

How does the LED lighting work?
This option can give the bar a futuristic look in the colour that matches the company or the event. We agree the colours with you during installation. In principle, we can create any colour using an RGB mixer. The colours can even scroll. Ask the installation engineer to show you what options are available.

What setup (format) should I choose for my event?
We will be happy to advise you personally on the appropriate format for your event as there are many factors that can influence your choice of format. On an exhibition stand, the space available is often a key factor, and the number of seats can also be relevant. Depending on the concept, you can opt to use the bar with or without bar stools. Pre-Motion does not supply bar stools.

If the bar is to be used for catering, there are a number of important factors which you need to bear in mind when choosing the bar format. Do you want your guests to sit round the bar, or will you be simply using the bar as a serving point? Also relevant is whether you intend to use the bar for serving a main meal or as a catering bar for snacks to accompany drinks. Generally speaking, the concept has a high capacity and even a smaller size bar can accommodate a large number of people when used as a serving point.

NB: In the examples below we have based our capacity calculations on the bar being used as a serving point for finger food or drinks as part of a buffet or social event rather than as the sole serving facility for a main meal.

Small: For serving snacks or drinks. The bar can be manned by a single person. It is often used on an exhibition stand or as an attractive serving point at an event. The conveyor display length is 5.3 metres. If you place bar stools around it, you can seat between 9 and 12 people (depending on whether you want to allow an access space to the bar). TIP: We can also supply a table for insertion between the curved sections.

Medium: This is a very popular format. It can be manned by two persons. This size is often extended by inserting a long table in the middle. The Medium option is ideal for events involving 200 to 500* people (water stream display length 8.3 m - 46 plates simultaneously). Between 15 and 18 bar stools can be positioned around this bar.

Large: The Large version offers a generous work area in the centre, particularly when set up as a rectangle. Between 15 and 18 bar stools can be positioned around this bar. A perfect option for large events with up to 700* people (water stream display length 11.3 m - 63 plates simultaneously). Between 21 and 24 bar stools can be positioned around this bar.

X-Large: This format offers plenty of workspace in the middle and plenty of space around the bar. This is a popular choice for use on large exhibition stands or at major events. Particularly useful at events where a lot of people need serving in a short period of time (water stream display length 14.3 m - 80 plates). Between 27 and 30 bar stools can be positioned around this bar.

What is the procedure for setting up the systems?
This depends on the type of product. Many of our products are relatively complex to set up, so this is done by Pre-Motion installation engineers. You provide the power connection and tell us where you want the system to be installed. We do the installation work. Our systems generally take about 90 minutes to set up. We agree the setting up date and site with you. You will need ensure that the floor (on stands) is finished before we can set up.
