Snackr: In-seat delivery for Australian stadiums

The last thing you’d want is to miss the action. You head to the nearest vendor, only to hear the crowd roar as a big moment you’ve missed passes you by. Those days are now gone, with the inclusion of Snackr at your next sporting event. 

Established only a couple of years ago, Snackr is a food and beverage ordering app which has been created so spectators can remain in their seat while items come straight to them. 

The Snackr App, available on iOS and Android, allows fans to browse through onsite vendors and adds convenience to matchday with cashless and cardless transactions that skips all the queues. 

Snackr is a valuable solution for venues, who are committed to improving the spectator experience while addressing any logistical challenges for in-seat delivery with stadiums and events holding different requirements. They are part of Snackr’s six key values: 

  1. Enhance the spectator experience – Give spectators the option to order food and beverages from their seat for delivery or collection.

    All vendors at the venue can be accessed on the app so you can order food and drinks quicker without having to leave your seat. It adds the convenience of skipping those long queues and potentially missing out on key moments.
  2. Drive revenue – Increasing sales by adding more convenience through in-app ordering. Queues are reduced, more spend-per-head is achieved and unlocks sales opportunities by smoothing the demand profile over an event.
  3. Unlock marketing opportunities – Leverage marketing opportunities through push notifications, suggested add-ons and strategic product placement.
  4. Gain insight – Know more about customer behaviour using real stats, specific to your venue. Time-based operational data and dashboard analytics are included. 
  5. Go cashless and cardless – Secure payments can be made through the app which increases service speed, reduces hygiene issues and modernises the revenue stream. 
  6. Drive operating efficiencies – Unlock staffing and inventory management efficiencies by better understanding events in real time.  

Similar to popular food delivery apps such as Uber Eats, Snackr allows spectators to insert their location that will identify onsite vendors nearby and then payments can be made directly through the app.  

They will then get a notification to meet the runner with the food and/or drink at the end of the seating row for efficient delivery and collection. Click and collect will also be an option for users where Snackr can implement collection points. 

For customers, they can also receive suggested add ons and promotions, as Snackr continues to develop exciting ways to build on fan engagement. Their platform can be used to generate more sales with fans able to bundle orders from multiple nearby vendors and push complementary items. Targeted providers can also drive sales for specific products. 

Promotions and discounts for food and drinks can help push sales further. This offers some exciting opportunities to reach further than before.
Individual pricing can be set where customers can pick and choose exactly what they want in a easy-to-use experience similar to Uber Eats.

Promotional discounts can be incorporated during the event to encourage sales, as well as dynamic pricing – the reduction of prices through typically quiet periods can incentivise sales for venues that wouldn’t take place before. 

Working closely with operational teams, Snackr has developed a convenient and revenue-driven in-seat ordering system that is available for a wide range of venues.

Snackr’s ongoing communication between a venue and its team including the General Manager all the way down to the chefs means the software to be utilised will work best for them.

All venues are different with unique dimensions and capacity so Snackr endeavours to be adaptable when it comes to implementing a suitable program for the event. Given the current circumstances of COVID-19, they also ensure that all local government rules and obligations are met at all times.

“If our product would be valuable to you and your stadium then it would be great for you to reach out to let us know we’re on the right track,” Snackr CEO Matthew Lim said to Soccerscene. 

“Essentially the focus of what we’re trying to do is tackle a lot of the logistical solutions for companies using in-seat delivery. 

“It’s not just a case of here’s your software and it will work for you, it’s more about consulting with us and making sure that the products are useful and valuable. 

“We would love if you reach out to us and have that initial chat just to see if what we’re doing would be useful to you, for any live sport events including soccer.”

Football NSW calls on clubs to Make It Red for Heart Health Round

Football NSW is calling on clubs and associations across the state to register for the 2026 Make It Red campaign, joining a national awareness movement aimed at reducing heart-related deaths on sporting grounds ahead of Heart Health Round on the weekend of June 5 to 7.

The campaign, developed by the Heartbeat of Football Foundation, asks sporting clubs to wear red, raise funds and build awareness around heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest, which is the leading single cause of disease burden and death in Australia for both men and women, and one that health authorities say is largely preventable through modifiable risk factors.

The call to action comes as the Foundation continues its work to map and register Automated External Defibrillators across NSW sporting facilities, a project that has already engaged twelve football associations and fed data into both the NSW Ambulance GoodSAM registry and NSW Health’s public AED map. The availability of a functioning, registered AED on site is among the most significant determinants of survival following sudden cardiac arrest, with survival rates declining sharply for every minute without defibrillation.

Football NSW is encouraging clubs to engage with the campaign across three areas. Clubs can register for the Make It Red campaign to help fund research, education and prevention programs. Participants, particularly those aged over 35, are encouraged to seek a free heart health screening test from their local GP or enquire about hosting a Heartbeat of Football testing day. Clubs are also urged to ensure their grounds have active, accessible AEDs in place, with guidance available through Football NSW’s Rescue Ready Guide.

The Make It Red campaign runs from June 5 to July 12, with Heart Health Round taking place across the opening weekend. Clubs can register and access participation resources at makeitred.org.

Community Spirit Shines on AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026

This week, Football Australia (FA) celebrated AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026, championing the people and communities who continue to hold up a safe, inclusive and supportive environment in the football landscape.

‘For all, for life’

In collaboration with Football NSW, Canterbury Football Association and community club, Balmain & District Football Club, the day reflected the very best of what football provides.

The event brought in participants of all ages – from 4-74 years-old – and reached a total of 400 people. Girls-only programs, all-abilities sessions and over-age football ensured all were catered for.

Such a diverse range of participants builds on a wider drive during FIFA World Football Week, which seeks to promote the sport not just as the dazzling lights of 100,000-seater stadiums, but as a way to foster community spirit and social development.

Furthermore, FA support through its Club Changer program was a welcome addition to the action, emphasising the organisation’s commitment to nurture a real love for the game across communities in Australia.

“Through Club Changer we support our clubs to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable environment where everyone is welcome; whether that be as a player, volunteer, referee or supporter,” explained National Program Manager Club Development at FA, Grace Lambourne.

“Everyone should feel they belong and are welcome to play, stay, and love the game.”

 

A welcome celebration

While the upcoming FIFA World Cup will no doubt inspire millions of future Socceroos and Matildas, events like the AFC Grassroots Football Day represent something beyond just inspiration.

It is a platform. An opportunity to express a love for football and to connect with others while doing so.

And connections between the professional and grassroots game is more important than ever if Australia is to nurture the next generation of talent.

This is particularly clear in the rise of women’s football across the nation. Since the FIFA Women’s World Cup, female participation rose by 32%, and registrations for the MiniTillies Program skyrocketed from 264 in 2023, to 1223 in 2024.

The professionals spark passion. But communities turn that passion into playing time.

That is why celebrating grassroots football – and the volunteers and families who sustain it – is a vital part of Australia’s football future. Together, FA and the AFC are creating strong foundations built on positivity, engagement, and inclusivity for all with a love for the beautiful game.
