In the fast-paced world of sports, where every second counts and customer satisfaction is king, innovation is key to staying ahead of the game and when it comes to drinks service, innovation is something that has been desperately needed for years.
At major sporting events, be it football, rugby, cricket, horse racing, golf, tennis or American Football, the fan experience is paramount yet beverage service and bar operations at such events and venues has long needed improvements. Long wait times and queues and poor quality drinks, results in loss of customers and ultimately loss of revenue.
Enter Boxbar—a game-changing self-service bar solution not just for festivals and music venues, but also for sports clubs, stadiums, and racecourses. Here's how Boxbar is making waves in sports.
1. Efficiency in Beverage Service
One of the most appealing features of Boxbar for sports businesses is its ability to eliminate pre-pouring and reduce wastage. With self-serve technology, drinks are poured automatically on demand, upon order, ensuring freshness and minimising wastage.
2. Sell More in the Halftime Rush
When the game hits halftime, everyone suffers. Long queues disrupt the fan experience and reduce operators' ability to make sales.
Boxbar's self-service solution is 360% faster than a traditional bar, significantly reducing queue times. This maximises sales during key moments and ensures fans have the best experience possible.
3. Streamlined Staffing
By implementing Boxbar, sports venues can streamline operations and reduce reliance on temporary staff, leading to cost savings and improved resource management during events.
4. Space-Saving Design
Sports stadiums and venues often face spatial constraints, especially in high-traffic areas such as concourses. Boxbar's compact and agile terminals are ideal for venues with limited space, maximising efficiency without compromising on service.

7. Branding & Advertising Opportunities
Boxbar is fully customisable, allowing sports clubs and venues to white-label their terminals to match their brand or that of a partner or sponsor.
Incorporating on-screen adverts within Boxbar units allows sports clubs, venues and stadiums to promote events, offers, and sponsors directly to customers.
