The best marketing idea in your venue right now might come from a guest, not your team.
With ‘Design with AI’, Ripples’ new feature in the Ripples Web App for customers with the Advanced Design Plan, guests can describe what they want to see on their drink – whether it’s a birthday message, a funny illustration, a vacation memory, or a completely original idea, and watch it become a custom drink print in seconds.
No design experience. No waiting for someone to create artwork.
Just type an idea, generate a design, and print it.
Instead of choosing from a fixed library of designs, guests become part of the creative process. Every drink becomes unique, personal, and far more likely to be photographed and shared.
More Than an AI Feature, It’s a Guest Experience
Today’s guests don’t just order drinks. They look for experiences worth talking about.
Design with AI transforms a simple beverage into something they helped create themselves. That sense of ownership makes every print feel more memorable and gives guests another reason to pull out their phones and share the moment.
For venues, that translates into real business value:
- Offer personalized drink prints without creating custom artwork.
- Say yes to last-minute requests for birthdays, celebrations, and special occasions.
- Create highly shareable drinks that generate organic social media exposure.
- Turn the ordering process into an interactive experience.
- Give guests a reason to come back and create something new on their next visit.
Rather than relying on the same designs every day, your guests continuously generate fresh content for your venue.
How It Works
- The guest opens the Ripples Web App by scanning your venue’s QR code and selects Design with AI.
- They enter a short description of what they’d like to create.
- The AI generates a custom design in seconds.
- The guest reviews the design and can generate up to five versions until they find one they love.
- Once they choose their favorite, the design is sent directly to your Ripple Maker under the Mobile section.
- Print, serve, and let your guest enjoy and share the experience.
The process fits naturally into your workflow without slowing down service.
