What is the Social Football Summit?

The Social Football Summit (SFS) is one of the most influential events in sports innovation, bringing together top stakeholders, startups, and decision-makers in football and technology. As part of the EXTRATIME Pitch Battle, startups presented groundbreaking solutions to enhance the football and fan experience.

PickEat was selected to pitch alongside some of the most innovative companies in the industry, showcasing how we’re solving real problems for fans, vendors, and event organizers.

Our winning pitch: solving event F&B challenges

Events, whether football matches, concerts, or festivals, are plagued by a common issue: long queues at food and beverage stands. Fans miss out on critical moments, vendors lose potential sales, and organizers lack the tools to optimize food and beverage flows.

During the pitch, we highlighted how PickEat directly addresses these challenges with:

• Seamless Fan Experience: Fans can order in seconds and pick up food without waiting in line.

• AI-Powered Tools for Vendors: Real-time order distribution and stock management maximize efficiency and reduce waste.

• Actionable Insights for Organizers: Our platform tracks F&B operations, enabling better decision-making and improved revenue.

Our promise is simple: No queues. No waste. Just seamless, smart operations.

Why PickEat stood out

The judges were looking for solutions that provide tangible value to the industry. PickEat stood out because:

1. Real Impact: Proven results like a 22% increase in vendor revenue and 42% reduction in food waste.

2. Fan-Centric Innovation: We prioritize the fan experience while ensuring profitability for vendors.

3. Scalability: PickEat’s platform works for stadiums, festivals, and exhibitions alike.

As football fans ourselves, we understand the importance of enjoying the match without missing a moment.
