Aramark Corp., a food and beverage partner of 10 NFL teams, is introducing state-of-the-art ordering methods to enhance the game day experience, including contactless ordering.

Solutions include:

• Checkout-free drink markets. Fans at Empower Field at Mile High (nine in-stadium locations) and NRG Stadium (one in-stadium location) can skip the checkout line with Aramark's checkout-free smart stores, powered by Zippin. Fans simply scan the Zippin app or card payment at entry, select what they want, and walk out.
• Self-checkout markets. Aramark's AI-powered self-checkout devices visually identify food and beverage items and ring them up in a single transaction, no barcodes or scanning needed.
• Mobile beer express. The mobile-ordering beer locations at Paul Brown Stadium dubbed "Canopy Beer Express" allow fans to place an order for beer or water and pick it up immediately at any of the eight beer express locations.
• Mobile ordering and pick up. Fans at nearly every Aramark stadium will be able to mobile order and pay via QR codes or within the team's mobile app and pick up their items at select general concession locations.
• Mobile ordering and in-seat delivery. Instead of waiting for a server to come to their seat, fans can place an order anytime via QR codes or team mobile apps and the order will be delivered directly to them.
• Self-order kiosks. Arrowhead Stadium, Empower Field at Mile High and NRG Stadium will offer self-order kiosks.
