Stadium POS built for game day.
In a survey of MLB fans, 53% said they wait 15+ minutes at concession stands, and over 80% have abandoned a purchase because the line was too long (Mashgin, 2025). Teamwork Commerce is built for the chaos of live events: offline-resilient, RFID-fast, deployable in minutes, and a seasonal hire trained and selling in five.
Gates open ninety minutes before first pitch. When the line at the team store starts to build, a manager hands two more associates iPhones, and they are selling on the concourse within minutes.
50,000 fans. One network. Zero lost sales.
High-density burst traffic overwhelms stadium Wi-Fi. Cell towers saturate. That's when competitors fail. The POS runs on the device rather than in the browser, so every terminal stays fully operational during an outage, holding transactions locally and syncing them the moment connectivity returns.
- Full POS functionality during network outages, no lost sales, no data gaps
- Transactions encrypted locally on the device, auto-synced to the cloud back office at reconnect
- No dependence on cloud connectivity for core selling, the halftime rush doesn't wait for Wi-Fi
- Handles large bursts of sales volume. Built for the 15-minute intermission sprint
Seasonal staff on registers in five minutes.
Stadium retail runs on seasonal hires. You can't spend a week training someone who works 20 games a year. Teamwork's iOS interface follows familiar design patterns your staff already knows, the Colorado Rockies put new associates on registers in five minutes after they start.
- Intuitive iOS interface, virtually zero learning curve for seasonal hires
- POS units deploy rapidly: add or remove terminals as event schedules change
- Scalable from a single pop-up kiosk to 20+ terminals across multiple concourse locations
- Self-checkout and RFID checkout options reduce staffing requirements during peak events
Teamwork's flexibility gave us the ability to quickly take an iPad, download the apps, and you have a point of sale. We were able to easily go from 12 to 25 point of sales in our main store.
Gates open. Ninety minutes to make the year.
Event retail is a series of spikes. The platform has to hold through every one of them.
Doors open and the floor fills
POS scales across every stand and kiosk, no per-lane hardware project.

A single concourse stand will run on almost anything. A full venue will not, and ninety minutes is not long enough to reconcile systems that disagree about what is in stock.
- 01 RFID self-checkout Fans don't wait in line during the game. RFID self-checkout completes transactions in 30 seconds or less, no scanning, no queue, back to the seats.
- 02 Mobile POS anywhere The concourse, the luxury suites, pop-up kiosks, associates working the line: the register goes to the fan, on iOS.
- 03 Endless Aisle Out of the championship jersey in their size? Ship from the warehouse or another venue. Over 80% of MLB fans have abandoned a purchase because the line was too long (Mashgin, 2025).
- 04 Real-time fan loyalty LAVA and Givex both plug into the POS to recognize the fan: season-ticket lookup, instant member discounts, surprise-and-delight at checkout. LAVA is live with NFL teams.
- 05 Omnichannel (BOPIS, BORIS) InnovaSport's 250-store implementation proves it: real-time inventory, loyalty, virtual gift cards. Start online, finish at the venue.
- 06 Event analytics Sales by period (pre-game, halftime, post-game) per-fan spend, terminal performance, and inventory velocity. Optimize for the next event.

Ninety minutes, no room for friction.
- Gates Tap to Pay, no reader to carry Associates deploy with an iPhone and nothing else. Native NFC takes the card, so there is no reader to issue, charge or chase.
- 15' Extra devices to bust the line Hand out additional iPhones as the queue builds and take it apart on the floor, rather than waiting for it to reach a stand.
- HT Counter pads and bins RFID pads and bins register a whole armful at once, with a customer screen and a QR receipt. The halftime rush does not queue item by item.
- 70' Split tender at the stand Unlimited split payments across cash, card and store credit on one ticket, without pulling a supervisor over.
- FT Blind count after the whistle End-of-event counts mask expected totals, and any discrepancy escalates to a management login before sign-off.
Stadium and venue retail questions, answered.
The POS keeps every terminal selling through a network outage. Card data is encrypted at the point of capture and never stored on the POS; sales queue locally and sync to the back office when connectivity returns. During the halftime rush at a sold-out game, that keeps the line moving even when 50,000 fans saturate the network.
Teamwork Commerce specializes in merchandise retail, team jerseys, hats, memorabilia, and fan gear. For F&B operations, Teamwork integrates with your existing concession POS or F&B vendor via open APIs. Unifying food and merchandise is the long-term goal, and Teamwork's open architecture is built to support that integration.
The Colorado Rockies put new associates on registers in five minutes after they start. The iOS interface follows familiar design patterns that most people already know. For stadium retail where staff might work 20 games a year, that keeps training down.
Teamwork Commerce covers the whole retail fleet, not just the stadium store. It is a broader platform than a merchandise-only system: native RFID (not third-party), offline resilience (critical for network-saturated venues), integrated OMS with Endless Aisle and ship-from-store, real-time AI fan loyalty through the LAVA and Givex partnerships, and the full omnichannel stack (BOPIS, BORIS, cross-channel inventory). For venues that also operate standalone retail stores, like InnovaSport's 250 locations, the same deployment extends from the stadium to the entire retail fleet.
The cloud back office provides sales analytics by game period (pre-game, halftime, post-game), per-fan average spend, terminal performance, product velocity, and inventory turnover. In a Mashgin survey of MLB fans, 53% wait 15 minutes or more at concession stands and over 80% have abandoned a purchase because the line was too long, and venues offering mobile ordering see per-capita spend rise 22%.
Teamwork Commerce powers stadium and venue retail for the Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Bucks, InnovaSport (250 stores across Mexico), and Sports Basement. The LAVA loyalty integration is live with NFL teams. The platform handles large bursts of sales volume with offline resilience, RFID self-checkout, and rapid seasonal staff deployment.
