The future has arrived - you can now order drinks on your mobile in Coppers

Less queuing, more boozing.

TELL US. WHAT’S the worst part of a night in Copper Face Jacks? Well, what’s ONE of the worst parts about a night out in Copper Face Jacks?

Yes, it’s queuing at the main bar. Nightmare.

Try to get through this lot and carry a tray of Jager back in one piece:

But wait. New developments mean that you may be able to skip the whole queuing process altogether.

The cashless payment app, Orderella, has just announced that it will be in operation in the beloved Harcourt Street haunt.

You just have to download the app, order your drinks or food, and everything will be delivered directly to you.

But don’t think they’ll find you on the dancefloor. During busier times you’ll receive a message when the order is ready so you can collect it from the bar and skip the queue.

12039506_1022140647830551_2114153312114905652_n

Just imagine it: no more flailing to get attention, no more chatting to people you’ll swear to meet up with on the dancefloor later, no finding vodka receipts from 3.31am in your bag the next day…

You make payment through PayPal or debit and credit card, so you’ll never have an excuse to skimp on your round again. And you can avoid the black hole that is endless questionable cashback requests.

You can get the app on the App Store or Google Play, and it also works in the likes of The Living Room, The Market Bar, and Kehoes.

    I can’t remember the last time I used Irish netflix, probably on a Fr Ted marathon. That’s it. I don’t know anyone who uses the Irish version these days. Use a dynamic DNS service (I use unotelly) to use the US version instead. You can switch back and forth if needed. But the Irish one is pretty pants.

    Actually, you can set up the DNS on your router/modem so that all devices in your home, including your PS3, use the US version.

    For the Irish version, I just switch to using 4G on my phone and watch it there. Means I don’t have to tinker with anything once it’s set up. It also means you don’t need to open it in an app like hola. Hola is painful to use and is slow as hell. So too is a VPN with HD video.

    There’s plenty of dynamic DNS services available. The one I use is not the only, or necessarily best, one. Hope that’s useful.

    You sure you don’t mean a VPN? I don’t see how a dynamic dns service could do what you are saying. A dynamic dns service is one that maps a server address to an ip address that changes.

    Sorry Colm, you’re right. The Dynamic DNS is actually just for the changing IP address of the router, I believe it’s actually some sort of ipsec that’s used exclusively for netflix traffic. Either way, it works really well.

    Dave / Colm: you’re both close :) it’s actually smart DNS solution that you refer to. And to make it little bit more confusing – it often use dynamic DNS to work together.
    In example: you are provided with dedicated DNS server that is automatically detecting your requests, so if you try to open http://www.netflix.com it will put you through their proxy server located in the US (in order to allow you to view us content). If you open http://www.rte.ie then nothing special happens – it will forward to rte as normal. So it knows what websites need to be put through proxy which not – hence name smart DNS. Then it can use dynamic DNS as well – this is for their own security. For example they offer you their smart DNS service but how can they know their service is not used by multiple people – anyone can enter their DNS details and use for free? Of course they have to add restriction for each IP (customer). Because your connection IP may be changing dynamically with your provider – then that’s why and when dynamic DNS service comes into play – so when your ip changes they automatically know it and allow you to use service as normal. If you didn’t use dynamic DNS then every time your ISP changes your ip you would have to manually change it with your smart DNS provider. If your ip is not dynamically changed by your ISP then you don’t need dynamic DNS to use smart DNS services. Hope that helps a bit.

    Interesting that Netflix is “arriving” in Australia in two months when there are already 250,000 households using the service through dynamic DNS bypassing the geo-blocking. Netflix’s Australian service will be competing against their own far superior USA service.
