Project Scope

Self Ordering Kiosk Rollout

Project Overview

This project was unique as Brentford FC became the first football stadium in the UK to implement self-ordering kiosks across its main bars. All traditional tills were replaced with kiosks across 12 different bars, enabling a seamless ordering experience for fans.

The new kiosks allowed pre-ordering for half-time, meaning orders could be collected instantly during half-time with minimal queuing. This reduced queue times, cut staffing costs, and naturally encouraged upselling, increasing the average basket value.


My Responsibilities

  • Managed the rollout of self-ordering kiosks across 12 stadium bars
  • Defined pre-ordering and half-time collection workflows
  • Organised staff training on kiosk usage and troubleshooting
  • Monitored performance metrics such as queue times, sales uplift, and average basket value
  • Ensured a smooth fan experience and operational efficiency during match days

Implementation

The project involved replacing all traditional tills with self-ordering kiosks in 12 bars. Integration with the stadium’s existing payment and inventory systems ensured accurate transaction processing. Pre-ordering functionality was implemented to handle peak half-time demand efficiently.

Staff were trained on-site to support fans using the kiosks, and a team of 2 project staff was scheduled across match days to provide technical and operational support.


Results

  • First football stadium in the UK to successfully implement self-ordering kiosks
  • Reduced queue times and staffing requirements during peak half-time
  • Enabled pre-ordering functionality for half-time orders
  • Increased average basket value through natural upselling on kiosks
  • Delivered a smooth fan experience across multiple bars during match days
