Matt Sebek, CEO of St. Louis City SC, shared his enthusiasm on LinkedIn: "It was incredible to see this vision come to life...and our fans absolutely loved it. These stores flip the model on throughput without sacrificing hot & delicious local food. They are magical."

Chris Devore, District Manager at NRG Park, praised the implementation, stating, "Our Walk-Up stores have allowed fans to get their hands on hot food quicker than ever before". This endorsement highlights the speed and efficiency that Zippin brings to concessions.

Zippin's Technological Edge

Krishna Motukuri, CEO of Zippin, emphasizes the company's commitment to precision and reliability, dispelling concerns about potential system exploitation with checkout-free technology. "At Zippin, we've built our technology from the ground up with a focus on accuracy and high-performance for our clients. Whether it’s a camera-only Zippin Walk-Up or a full store retrofit with cameras and shelf sensors, our platform delivers the highest available accuracy, even in the most challenging environments, like packed stadiums where thousands of fans are dressed alike."

Motukuri adds, "We understand trust is everything in this space. That’s why we've invested heavily in creating a system that not only enhances the fan experience but also provides operators with reliable data they can count on. The fact our partners continue expanding with us is proof of the confidence they have in Zippin’s reliability and results.” With every transaction, Zippin’s algorithms and models become smarter and more accurate, ensuring continuous improvement in performance and customer experience. 

The continued expansion of Zippin across these high-profile sports venues demonstrates the industry’s confidence in their checkout-free platform. As more stadiums and arenas adopt checkout-free, fans can enjoy faster service and an overall better gameday experience, while venues gain the operational efficiencies and revenue growth only a truly reliable system can deliver.
