Championship football club Cardiff City has introduced self-ordering technology at its home stadium in collaboration with its catering partner Levy UK + Ireland.
Self-ordering kiosks will be added to the traditional bar service at Cardiff City Stadium, with fans able to order refreshments from 13 till counter points and 19 self-order units, increasing the number of order positions by more than 50%.
It is hoped the improvements will speed up match-day service times in the Grange End Family Stand and Upper Concourse South, with fans able to pre-order their half-time food and drink at the same time as pre-match refreshments.

The partnership is highlighted by Cheq’s mobile ordering platform, including a range of mobile pick-up points, in-seat delivery service at suites, clubs and premium areas, and mobile handheld units to provide easy payment access throughout the arena.
CFG Bank Arena will also join Cheq’s social gifting marketplace, which allows fans to send food, beverages, merchandise and experiences to their friends in real time, from anywhere in the world.
