As sports venues prioritize revenue, ticket sales alone are no longer sufficient. Every aspect of the fan experience, including food and beverage (F&B) offerings, significantly contributes to profits, accounting for between 50% and 70% of F&B profits in sports venues. With F&B revenue forming a major part of their total offerings, sports venues should rapidly boost these revenues through AI solutions.
Long-Term AI Strategy
With a long-term AI strategy, revenue can easily increase by 10% to 20%, according to the Boston Consulting Group—and this aligns perfectly with new industry initiatives regarding premium fan experiences.
