‘Live Scores’ Channel: Turn Every Goal Into More Orders for your Venue

Rebecca ConnorsMay 10, 2026

The biggest soccer/football season of the year is approaching fast, and venues that prepare now will be the ones that win customer traffic, increase revenue, and build lasting guest loyalty.

To help your business capture this opportunity, Ripples introduces the ‘Live Scores’ channel – an automated real-time feature designed to turn live match moments into more beverage orders, longer stays, and stronger customer engagement.

Every goal becomes an instant opportunity to print the updated score on drinks, transforming every live match moment into a memorable guest experience.

A live score design appears directly on your Ripple Maker as games unfold. When reaching Half-Time and Full Time – the design changes automatically.

Live Scores isn’t just entertainment – it helps venues increase business sales during the soccer/football season. Fans choose where to watch and spend based on the venue’s atmosphere. 

With Live Scores, your venue can:

  • Drive more foot traffic during matches
  • Boost sales through longer stays and repeat orders
  • Turn goal moments into social-sharing opportunities that promote your venue
  • Build loyalty as a go-to matchday destination

Live Scoring is available as part of Ripples’ Advanced Design Plan, making it a strategic investment for venues looking to maximize the year’s biggest sports traffic and outperform competitors. Purchase a Design plan now

  1. Open the DrinkRipples app
  2. Click Design → + → Add Channel → Shared Channel
  3. Choose the ‘Live Scores’ channel
