Aramark introduces checkout-free kiosks at Wales' Principality Stadium

Aramark UK has introduced checkout-free food and beverage kiosks at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union and the stadium. The locations, branded "Now in a Minute," use Amazon's Just Walk Out technology, marking its first deployment in Wales, according to a press release.

Fans enter by tapping a contactless payment card, select their items and leave without stopping at a checkout. Sensors track purchases, and payments are processed automatically. Offerings include pies, desserts, snacks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, with selections adjusted for each event.

Aramark said the technology is intended to shorten lines and give employees more time to assist guests. The rollout follows other service upgrades at the stadium, including the installation of more than 20 self-service eBars, as the partners work to speed transactions and improve food and beverage service on event days.
