About

Skippio is an Irish startup that has developed an innovative platform to enhance the fan experience at large-scale venues and events. The platform improves the fan experience by keeping them out of F&B queues at every venue or event they attend, allowing the user to order and pay for food and beverages from anywhere in a venue without ever having to join a queue, receiving real-time updates of how their orders are progressing, and once ready they use an express area or lane to collect their order. Skippio is currently reducing queue times by over 90% compared to the global industry average, ensuring fans spend more time enjoying the event they paid good money to attend with friends and family rather than standing around in queues.
