Rugby fans attending Ireland’s RBS 6 Nations matches against England and France are now able to pre order their food and drinks thanks to a new app available at the Aviva Stadium called RapidQ.
Supporters simply need to download RapidQ from the app store on their phones and they can then start ordering their refreshments for collection before kick-off, at half time or after the final whistle. Once fans have downloaded RapidQ they pay for their order through their credit or debit card and then show staff at the pre-order collection point a code on their phone and walk away with their choices. RapidQ was has been selected, following trials of a similar system at the stadium last year.
Ahead of the France game on Saturday 14th February, the service will be available from Wednesday 11th February at 12pm right up until half time during the match, with food and drink collection points located in the following designated pre ordering areas;

Editor’s Notes
The RapidQ App is built from software provided by UK based cloud technology company, Preoday, which allows customers to pre order and pay for food, drinks and merchandise from venues as large as stadiums, racecourses and festivals to bars, pubs and small cafes.
Compass Group Ireland, Ireland’s leading food and support services company, employs over 4,000 people on the Island of Ireland, operates over 200 units and serves over 100,000 meals a day.
It’s not as catchy as: ‘When is a door not a door?’ (answer, when it’s a jar) but it speaks to the idea that in-car collection, and the technologies that support it, are flexible enough to bend to the needs of a business and its guests.
Delivery can be daunting to the uninitiated, and it might be tempting to sign up with a third-party ordering aggregator that offers the service, such as UberEats, but other options could suit your business and brand better. Here we present three different ‘levels’ of delivery, starting with the most basic – and cheapest method: doing it yourself.
