Today a bartender needs 45 seconds to a full minute to handle a single order. They talk to the customer, take the order, prepare the drink, take payment, and hand it over. That caps each counter at roughly one order per minute. Over a 15 minute intermission that is about 15 orders per counter, and over a 20 minute break it is about 20.

QuickServe strips out the steps in the middle. The order and the payment already happened at the seat, so the bartender only prepares and hands over. Each drink now takes around 15 seconds, which means up to 4 orders per minute instead of 1.

Ordering only works one way today. A guest leaves their seat, walks to the bar, waits in line, orders, pays, and then waits again for the drink. Most of this happens during the intermission or halftime, because nobody wants to miss the key moments. So a large share of guests never order at all. The line is not worth the seat they would give up.

QuickServe changes that. Guests order from their seat whenever they want and pick up whenever they want. The drink is always ready at the bar, because the bartender already knows what to prepare. Ordering stops being a decision weighed against missing the show, and becomes something guests do without a second thought.
