The Ripples team was in London this week at Restaurant & Bar Tech Live, Europe’s leading event for profit-driving technologies in the restaurant and bar sector.

The highlight of the show is the Innovation Awards, which the show’s organizers describe as follows:

“In an industry saturated by a constant influx of new products, our innovation awards seek to celebrate the groundbreaking developments which are making waves at the very forefront of the restaurant and bar sectors. With three awards up for grabs at this year’s event, nominees are those whose products or services are enabling restaurants and bars to not only attract, but also to serve more customers than ever before.”

Ripples was nominated of the Bar Innovation Award, alongside some tough contenders.  And while it’s always an honor just to be nominated, we really really wanted to win. And win we did!
