Zapaygo announced as order and pay app of Swansea City Association Football Club

The mobile order and payment platform Zapaygo, has teamed up with Swansea City Association Football Club to provide value added service to their guests in hospitality.

The deal sees Zapaygo become the order and pay app for stadium customers across all the club’s hospitality suites. Football fans will now be able to order and pay via their mobile phone, before that order is delivered to them.

Zapaygo has been helping large and small venues reopen safely after lockdown. With the order and pay platform in place, Swansea City AFC can cater for more customers, whilst still managing the current challenges in staffing through quarantines and illness.

A recent survey carried out by Zapaygo found that 76% of respondents preferred to order and pay from their table, versus going to a bar or counter. The roll out at Swansea has launched in the hospitality suites before it’s rolled out to the fan zones.

Elliot Hall, Founder and CEO of Zapaygo, said: “I am delighted by this relationship with Swansea City Association Football Club. We have seen how our app can keep people connected and engaged with venues, so as restrictions ease further and stadiums can return to full capacity, I am excited to watch this relationship grow.”

The mobile app made its debut on the 31st July for the Swansea versus Southampton match. On the build-up to the launch and after, Zapaygo have worked closely with the team at Swansea to ensure the service required was delivered.

Andrew Rees, Catering General Manager at Swansea.com Stadium said “Flexibility is the most significant benefit of having the Zapaygo mobile app. With Zapaygo, the ordering experience is much easier for customers, and helps enhance their experience at the Stadium. We have seen growth from the first two events in Spend Per Head in each area Zapaygo is being used.”
