Online ordering platform Flipdish has announced that gig-goers heading to Aiken Promotions' Live at the Marquee concerts in Cork this month can use QR Code Order & Pay and Kiosk products to order and pay for drinks, and avoid long bar queues.
Attendees of the gig series can scan a QR code at their table, order drinks from a menu powered by Flipdish, input their table number, pay using their phone, and receive their order at their table.
Additionally, customers can order through stationary Kiosks, using a touch screen menu to select their drinks and pay by card before picking up their drinks from a designated collection point.
Flipdish said both options would provide a faster and more convenient customer experience, and the announcement coincides with the unicorn's expansion into entertainment venues and stadiums, allowing companies to handle larger orders and create operational efficiencies.
Conor McCarthy, CEO of Flipdish, said: “We’re very excited that Flipdish Kiosks and QR Order and Pay are in the Rockshore Getaway Bar at Live At The Marquee this summer.

"The event has become a highlight of the summer festival season in Ireland and with our ordering solutions fans will no longer have to worry about queuing for drinks at the bar and can instead enjoy the comfort of having their drinks delivered right to their table.”
Also commenting on the announcement, Hugh McGonagle, bar manager for Aiken Promotions at Live at the Marquee: “We are happy to welcome Flipdish to Live At The Marquee for the 2022 summer season.
"With over 20 acts this year, we will have thousands of attendees throughout the month of June and Flipdish’s ordering solutions in the Rockshore Getaway Bar allows us to ensure the pre-event drinks run smoothly and efficiently and we provide a great customer experience for those visiting us on the banks of the River Lee.”
Live at the Marquee kicked off with the Coronas on 27 May and will end later this month when Olivia Rodrigo performs on 29 June.
Bryan Bradley, account executive for Diageo Ireland, said: “We are delighted to have Flipdish ordering solutions in the Rockshore Getaway Bar at this year’s Live at the Marquee event.
"The QR code table service is very good. People can scan the QR code on their phone to see the menu from their table, order the drinks themselves, and beat the queues.
“What’s really exciting is seeing the blend between consumers using technology at home on their phones and then bringing it to events like Live at the Marquee. It’s really exciting to see it come to life from an early stage."
