Barclays Center
Enhancing Premium Hospitality Beyond the Event
Whether attending a concert, sporting event, or private hospitality experience, guests increasingly expect memorable food and beverage moments that match the excitement of the occasion.
Barclays Center introduced Solato to complement its premium hospitality offering with freshly made artisan gelato, creating another experience guests can enjoy before, during, and after every event.
The Opportunity
Sports and entertainment venues must serve large volumes of guests within very short service windows while maintaining exceptional hospitality.
Premium clubs and suites require elevated food offerings that are simple to operate, quick to serve, and capable of handling fluctuating event attendance.
The Experience
Solato delivers freshly made artisan gelato through a compact, self-service platform designed specifically for high-volume hospitality environments.
The experience complements premium hospitality while minimizing operational demands on venue teams.
