Bar Tap
Foodservice company Delaware North this week launched a checkout-free bar at London Stadium, powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology.
Bar Tap, which is is located by kiosk three on level zero, is designed to reduce queues and speed up service, giving people more time to enjoy football matches and live events. They can tap in, grab a drink, and get straight back to the action.
It made its debut at the recent sold-out Iron Maiden concert, and offers the likes of beer, cider, spirits and soft drinks.
Delaware North’s Vice President UK Strategy Enablement & HR, Marco Galer-Reick, says: “This launch is part of our global strategy to use best-in-class technology to elevate the fan experience.”
“We're committed to creating the world’s best guest experiences, and bringing Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology to London Stadium is another example of how we’re delivering on that promise. From faster service to less time waiting in line, it’s all about making live events even more enjoyable for our guests.”
Ryan Edge, Catering Services Director for Delaware North at London Stadium, says: “Fans hate missing a single second of the action, and we get it. That’s why we’re constantly exploring game-changing ways to supercharge their stadium experience.”
“With Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, fans can enjoy fast, seamless transactions, grabbing a drink or snack and getting back to their seats without missing a moment. We’re proud to bring this cutting-edge solution to London Stadium.”
Gary Bell, Commercial Director at London Stadium, comments: “We are committed to improving our event day experience and giving fans the best possible customer service at our venue. Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology allows us to do just that, cutting down wait times and allowing fans to get back to the action faster. What better place to have rolled this out than at a sold-out Iron Maiden gig.”
Delaware North first introduced Just Walk Out tech in 2021 at the company owned and operated TD Garden in Boston and has since expanded to several sports and entertainment venues around the world, including Melbourne Cricket Ground, Climate Pledge Arena, UBS Arena, Bridgestone Arena and Globe Life Field.
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Checkout free stores will be a key focus area at our sister title RTIH’s 2025 Innovation Awards.
The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
