CLIENT CASE STUDY Sacramento Kings Increase Sales by 20% Using Appetize Mobile Ordering Application
The Sacramento Kings are a professional basketball team based in California’s capital city and one of the oldest operating professional basketball franchises in the nation. The Kings played home games out of the Sleep Train Arena until 2016, when they moved to Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento.
Improving an Outdated System With millions of guests attending games and purchasing concessions at their venue every year, the Kings needed a more capable and efficient order and delivery system that ensured their fans wouldn’t miss a second of the action.
“Now our concession stands have the latest technology. We’re excited to incorporate Appetize’s innovative solutions at our new arena, Golden 1 Cetner.”
- Chris Granger, President, Sacramento Kings
