Stadium concession challenges

Short breaks create extreme pressure on ordering operations.

  • Half-time and interval surges overwhelm concession counters.
  • Fans miss live action while waiting in long food and drink queues.
  • Large concourses make order communication difficult for teams.
  • Collection points face repeated 'is mine ready' interruptions.
  • Demand varies by stand, fixture type and weather conditions.
