From little league and high school baseball to the major leagues, each year friends and family gather at baseball fields and parks to enjoy “America’s favorite pastime.” But watching a baseball game would not be complete without snack shacks, mobile units, and food trucks that provide refreshing food and drinks and local sponsorships.
As little league and baseball seasons begin this spring, restaurants and operators with enhanced point-of-sale technology capabilities such as mobile handheld point-of-sale devices, QR code-enabled online ordering solutions, and remote digital payments are operating a full-featured point-of-sale and food service operation in snack shack and mobile unit environments. By doing so, these restaurants and operations increase exposure to young adults and families that are more likely to support the business with future visits.

QR Code Ordering and Payments
With QR code-based mobile ordering and payments, operators enhance order input experiences and decrease wait times for their snack shack. By designating specific QR code ordering and pick-up locations surrounding the baseball field, customers simply scan, order, pay, and wait for their food and drinks to be delivered to them by snack shack runners. QR codes also allow customers to order and pay for their food from their seat and pick up meals when complete.
QR code-based ordering eliminates the frustrating necessity of leaving the game to wait in line, order, and receive food and drinks. Instead, customers enjoy the game while they wait for orders to be brought to them, while snack shacks work more efficiently by dedicating more time to preparing food and drinks.
Mobile Handheld-Based Transactions
Aldelo Express makes it easy for small-town communities to enjoy professional-grade stadium ordering experiences. Using mobile handheld point of sale devices, food trucks, snack shacks, and restaurants turn bleacher seating into remote dining areas. With a single mobile handheld point-of-sale device, staff process orders and accept cash or digital payments from the snack shack or as they roam the stadium environment.
For owners and operators, this provides an opportunity to put their brand in clear sight of local and visiting guests and engage with them directly while promoting convenient and customer-centric services.

Embrace Local Partnerships
But engaging at local ballparks may not suit every operation. Fortunately, restaurants can still partner with mobile food service operators to provide collaborative services in little league, baseball, and other athletics settings including after-game gatherings, award banquets, and ceremonies. In addition to providing food, staff, or supplies, restaurants promote their business and extend snack shack customer loyalty via selling gift cards and applying loyalty credits on qualifying purchases.
Additionally, traditional team and park sponsorships support QR code-based signage in little league and baseball field environments for customers to easily access and launch digital menus, place orders, and settle transactions from the comfort of their seat. Not only does this improve guest experiences, it increases order volume and frequency with fewer staff. QR codes and store logos can also be posted on ticket stubs, staff uniforms, team uniforms, napkins, and to-go order packaging.
All-Inclusive Point of Sale Software
Customer-facing point-of-sale solutions from Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale utilizes QR code-based digital menus, online storefronts, and payment solutions, offering owners and operators flexible and convenient ways to serve customers in remote settings. This includes extending traditional ordering methods to on-demand customer-driven digital ordering and payment options.
