Spektrix and SalesVu have tools to eliminate the line by enabling guests to pre-order the snacks and drinks that they want to consume during intermission. &nbsp;The system allows guests to place their concessions pre-orders whenever\u2019s convenient to them. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\"><br \/>Upon purchasing their ticket<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\">John buys tickets for \u2018The Nutcracker\u2019 for his family, and automatically receives a link to pre-order his concession items from Spektrix. It will continue to send him timely reminders to place the order before the day of the show. The link will send John to the SalesVu-hosted concessions purchase link where he can place his order and benefit from any eligible discounts, based on the status of his Spektrix account. The SalesVu AI-powered algorithm shows John the items that are currently trending, the best sellers, the new items that were added specifically for this show, his previous purchases since he is a regular visitor, and even recommendations based on items that people who have similar tastes have purchased. From this moment on, John feels excited about his visit and his anticipation builds with every step of the customer journey. Meanwhile, concessions managers can use SalesVu data to plan ahead for the performance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\">When they arrive at the venue<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\"> Staff members can easily scan the barcode on John\u2019s ticket and automatically understand his preferences and rewards. John can enjoy special treatment and save on the price of his order by using his membership discount. Ven better, he can pre-order his favorite drink for the intermission, cutting wait time and improving his experience even further. Bartenders can use the time between the first half of the show to prepare those orders instead of being rushed during a fifteen-minute intermission.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\">When they find their seat.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\"> John\u2019s kids are craving a snack, so they place an order from the comfort of their seats with a QR code. This concession website has a mobile-friendly user interface with a darker background ensuring that bright screens don\u2019t disrupt the theater\u2019s ambience. Bar staff can easily identify the seats and preferred delivery time, configurable by the venue &#8211; for example, &nbsp;immediately, at the intermission, or after the show. &nbsp;John and his family receive their snacks without interruption, either through an at-seat delivery or an SMS inviting them to the nearest pickup location.&nbsp;<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\">Offer tailored menus and prices with integrated data from your P.O.S. and ticketing software<br \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spektrix.com\/hubfs\/Partners\/SalesVu\/salesvu-spektrix-spot-trends-in-product-sales.gif\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"gif showing the Spektrix and SalesVu integration, helping to identify what sells well for each audience or event type.\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 853px;\" title=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No two shows are the same, and neither should be the concessions offerings.
