Aramark Sports + Entertainment, a hospitality provider at nine Major League Baseball stadiums, will welcome fans back to ballparks with state-of-the-art ordering technology and a new lineup of culinary creations, according to a press release.

For the 2023 baseball season, Aramark and its partners at Citi Field, Citizens Bank Park, Coors Field, Fenway Park, Kauffman Stadium, Minute Maid Park, PNC Park, Rogers Centre and Oakland Coliseum will debut various concessions stands and chef collaborations.

Self-checkout technology includes:

• Grab-and-go service models will be paired with near-contactless checkout technology at PNC Park in a Mashgin-powered market and Fan Favorite Express locations (Section 106 and 128) and Walk Thru Bru beverage concept (Sections 112, 125).
• Walk Thru Bru will also expand its presence with 13 new Mashgin units at Rogers Centre (Sections 125, 518), Citi Field (Sections 309 and 419), Fenway Park (Pavilion Level; Big Concourse in Right Field) and Minute Maid Park (Sections 106, 113, 126, 134, 156, 416, 429).
• Fenway Park will feature four self-dispensing popcorn machines with self-checkout capabilities at Sox Pop locations. (Big Concourse in Right Field and Pavilion Level in Left Field).
• Amazon's Just Walk Out technology is coming to Coors Field (Section 105), allowing guests to walk into the location, grab the concessions they want and walk out. By automatically tallying items shoppers take off shelves, payment is processed when they exit, enabling fans to avoid waiting in line.
• Fans at PNC Park will see touch-to-order, self-checkout technology at the Pops Plaza (Section 130), which will be fully re-imagined with a walkthrough beer market and full bar. Fenway Park will also offer kiosk ordering to Fenway Favorites behind home plate with Tapin2 kiosks that provide a digital interface of menus and self-checkout at the tap of a finger.
