Women's safety campaigners are calling for the scheme to become mandatory, with proper enforcement.
Jamie Klingler from Reclaim These Streets warns: "Women take a lot of risks to go out - a lot of the time for online dates or for meeting someone you don't know.
"If Ask for Angela is at a bar you're like, 'OK, they'll have my back.' "To find out [the flaws in the Ask for Angela scheme], it's more than disappointing - it's putting women at risk."
Sylvia Oates, director of Ask for Angela, said: "It's a real concern that premises have got the poster up and then if somebody asks for Angela, it's not successful."
She said high staff turnover in the hospitality industry could make consistent training challenging, but said venues had a responsibility to make sure staff were trained.
She is calling for stronger measures to ensure compliance, such as fines, and will be meeting MPs to discuss ways to strengthen the scheme.
