The autonomous retail provider garnered impressive store sales at the Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway, invited back for next race
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AiFi, the most flexible AI platform that enables retailers to affordably deploy autonomous shopping solutions, was selected by Phoenix Raceway to continue using its autonomous retail technology after a test launch with both AiFi and Amazon Go systems at the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship in November. AiFi demonstrated such success that Phoenix Raceway will bring the AiFi store back for the next NASCAR race in the spring of 2023.
Alongside store deployments at convenience stores, major grocery retailers, college campuses, transportation hubs, and more, AiFi has also been making a splash selling food and drinks in sports stadiums with deployments at Ford Field in Detroit and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The NASCAR Championship is its second racecar presence after revealing a frictionless express shop at the Miami Grand Prix in May in partnership with Verizon 5G.
"As AiFi continues to partner with major venues, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue working with NASCAR and Phoenix Raceway to deliver a new and convenient experience for fans," said AiFi's CEO, Steve Carlin. "Race goers are seeking faster transactions, more convenient concessions, and limited human contact, and our solution provides all of that for sports fans and event goers who don't want to spend a lot of time out of their seats."

By eliminating the worst part of stadium concessions, attendees are able to easily and quickly purchase desired products, which AiFi's data showing this actually leads to more money spent on each purchase.
"We were impressed with how quickly AiFi was able to get the store up and running," said Julie Giese, President of Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR. "Our fans excitedly welcomed this new way to shop, and were even more excited to get back to their seats quicker, without missing much of the race.
